Reconocida experta en atención médica abordará el aumento de la diversidad racial en la profesión de asistente médico en el evento inaugural del 8 al 9 de septiembre 

ATLANTA, 5 de mayo de 2022 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- La National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) anunció hoy que la reconocida médica y defensora de la equidad en la salud, la Dra. Uché Blackstock, pronunciará el discurso de apertura durante la inauguración de la Cumbre Represent! en septiembre.

La Dra.  Blackstock es la fundadora y directora ejecutiva de la organización Advancing Health Equity, que tiene como fin asociarse con organizaciones de atención médica para erradicar el racismo y cerrar la brecha en las desigualdades raciales en materia de salud. Fue profesora asociada en el Departamento de Medicina de Emergencia y directora docente de Contratación, Retención e Inclusión en la Oficina de Asuntos de Diversidad de la Escuela de Medicina de la Universidad de Nueva York. La Dra.  Blackstock ha sido una colaboradora médica exclusiva de MSNBC desde abril de 2021.

"La amplia experiencia de la Dra. Blackstock para abordar las desigualdades en materia de salud y su posición como líder de opinión en materia de prejuicio y racismo en la atención médica permite que esté exclusivamente calificada para pronunciar el discurso de apertura en este evento histórico", señaló Dawn Morton-Rias, Ed.D., PA-C, presidenta y directora ejecutiva de la NCCPA.

Represent! es una cumbre presencial de un día y medio sobre la importancia de aumentar la diversidad, la equidad y la inclusión raciales en la profesión de asistente médico (PA). El evento fue creado para facilitar un debate y la adopción de medidas prácticas para abordar la disminución de la diversidad de la profesión de PA en medio de una población de pacientes cada vez más diversa.

"Nuestro más reciente perfil estadístico de PA certificados indica que solo el 13.3 % de los asistentes médicos pertenece a un grupo racial minoritario, lo que significa una reducción del 7.63 % con respecto a 2013. Estos datos llaman la atención cuando se comparan con la composición demográfica cada vez más diversa de los Estados Unidos. El 27.2 % de la población de los EE. UU. se identifica como minoría racial. Una investigación ha demostrado que los pacientes que pertenecen a minorías obtienen mejores resultados en la atención médica cuando son atendidos por proveedores de salud que comparten su origen racial y étnico. Por lo tanto, para atender mejor a los pacientes, es fundamental que generemos una fuerza laboral de PA que refleje mejor la diversidad de los pacientes".

Represent incluirá debates, actividades guiadas, paneles, exposiciones de carteles y eventos de socialización, y contará con la participación de PA que realizan prácticas clínicas, docentes y estudiantes de PA, líderes de organizaciones de PA, médicos y empleadores.

Entre los panelistas destacados se incluyen: Daytheon Sturges, PhD, PA-C, MPAS, CAHIMS, CHES, profesor asistente del Programa de PA de la Universidad de Washington; Temple Howell-Stampley, MD, MBA, FACP, presidenta y directora de programas del Programa de PA del Southwestern Medical Center de la Universidad de Texas; Calbeth Chika Alaribe, estudiante de PA y ganadora de MIT: Hacking Racism in Healthcare; y Elias Villarreal Jr., ADE, MPAS, PA-C, DFAAPA, presidente del Departamento y director fundador del Programa de PA de la Universidad del Norte de Arizona.

Shani Fleming, MSHS, MPH, PA-C, profesora asociada de la Universidad de Maryland y directora de Igualdad, Diversidad e Inclusión de la Escuela de Posgrado, se desempeñará como moderadora del panel.  

El evento se realizará del 8 al 9 de septiembre de 2022 en el National Center for Civil and Human Rights.
