9:00 AM - 12:15 PM LIVE TRACK 1: F01. The History of Scientific Racism in Medicine and Prescriptions to Eradicate it, 3.0 CE Presented by John Chenault, M.A. This presentation examines the origins and deadly consequences of the unscientific theory of race-based medicine that permeates and structures every aspect of US medicine from clinical practice to biomedical research to medical education. It explains the government’s role in mandating the use of a racial classification system that has no basis in science yet perpetuates scientific racism through systemic mechanisms that resist efforts of reform and remediation. In closing, this talk offers a set of principles and guidelines for eliminating structural racism, health disparities, and social injustice in medicine. Skill Level: Beginning.

12:30 PM - 1:30 PM KEYNOTE LUNCHEON: F03. Achieving Health Equity: Psychology's Role, 1 CE Presented by Jennifer Kelly, Ph.D. The US Centers for Disease Control defines health disparities as preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or opportunities to achieve optimal health that are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations. Health disparities related to race are often the result of persistent unjust policies and discriminatory practices that increase the risk of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) populations for poor health. Health disparities have been observed across virtually all indicators of poor health (e.g., morbid obesity, cardiovascular disease, decreased life expectancy). Environmental, social and behavioral factors— all areas of psychology’s expertise— contribute to health disparities in interacting ways. Psychology must position itself as a force for achieving health equity by finding ways to make concrete improvements in the overall health of populations affected by disparities, and APA needs to support individual practitioners’ ability to do so in their own communities. This presentation will examine social determinants that contribute to health disparities, including, but not limited to, race, SES, gender, and geographical location. The unique contribution that psychological science and practice can offer in achieving health equity will be discussed. Skill Level: Beginning Based on the content of this workshop, attendees will be able to:
