Description:
Racial and ethnic disparities in multiple myeloma (MM) impact outcomes, with Black patients facing higher incidence, poorer survival, and less access to advanced treatments. These disparities are often compounded by a lack of awareness among healthcare providers and gaps in culturally competent, patient-centered care. This course is designed to help you better understand the impact of these inequities and how to address them through shared decision-making (SDM), cultural competence, and effective, team-based care strategies. Join Dr. Joseph Mikhael as he explores the key factors influencing the care and outcomes of patients with MM and provides actionable insights to help you deliver more equitable, informed, and compassionate care.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, the participant should be able to:

• Describe racial and ethnic factors in patients with MM that affect incidence, disease characteristics, progression, and patient survival.
• Identify disparities in MM care and access to novel treatments among underserved populations.
• Outline treatment plans incorporating collaborative SDM that address social and cultural norms, health literacy needs, and build trust in the patient-clinician relationship.
• Implement team-based strategies to mitigate healthcare disparities in MM, focusing on equitable access to emerging therapies and patient-centered care.
