OVERVIEW

Addressing Racial Disparities in Orthopedic Care is organized by CME Outfitters, LLC.

Launch Date: 12/13/2021
Credit Expires: 12/31/2025

Statement of Need:
Racial and ethnic minorities undergo fewer surgical procedures, face longer delays for necessary procedures, and have worse postoperative outcomes across surgical disciplines. This is particularly prevalent in orthopedic surgeries for debilitating musculoskeletal conditions. Despite presenting with more advanced osteoarthritis, African American patients reported longer surgical wait times when compared with White patients. This, combined with increased risk of complications and/or mortality after orthopedic surgical intervention, has led to a need for health care providers (HCPs) to improve awareness of surgical disparities in arthroplasty procedures and address interpersonal racism/biases that play a role in this health inequity.

This CMEO BriefCase episode will focus on factors for disparities in joint arthroplasty procedures and strategies clinicians can implement to improve racial equity in orthopedic arthroplasty and surgical care.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of this CME/CE activity, participants should be able to:

  • Assess factors for disparities in joint arthroplasty (replacement) procedures.
  • Implement strategies to improve racial equity in orthopedic arthroplasty and surgical care.
