Unpacking Concepts and Definitions
This week, we will structure and root our understanding of what race is and how it interacts and affects all aspects of our society. To observe and understand inequities in the healthcare system, we must first have a basic understanding of concepts and definitions in the health equity literature, and the origins of race and how it came to be a ubiquitous part of modern society.

Evolution & Impact of the Health Insurance System
This week, we will learn about the history of health insurance in the United States. The US health insurance system is complex and can vary based on your location, age, ability status, and for some groups, your identity. Understanding these differences helps shed a light on how health insurance plays a role in health inequity and specifically, racial health inequity.

Access & Professional Representation in Healthcare
This week, we will explore how lack of access and representation in various sectors have had an impact on healthcare equity. By illustrating exclusion and discrimination in other sectors of society, we can better see the same parallels that are observed in healthcare, and how exclusionary practices outside of healthcare contribute to health disparities and causes of inequities that will be detailed in Course 2.

There is a significant need to provide a deep skillset to learners who have significant potential to change this system towards equity. Reducing racial and ethnic health disparities is core to the mission of public health. The healthcare delivery system contributes to these disparities in unique and complex ways.
