Annotation: This webinar explores innovations in recruitment, training, and retention that can lead to a more representative and supported pediatric workforce. It discusses anti-racist training opportunities for pediatric staff and residents to better serve children most impacted by structural racism. The webinar includes speakers from pediatric sites engaged in Accelerating Child Health Transformation, a national initiative led by the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that seeks to accelerate the adoption of key strategies necessary to advance anti-racist and family-centered pediatric practice.

Learning Objectives: • Discuss how burnout and uncertainty about the future of health care represent both challenges and opportunities to co-create and co-cultivate inspiring work environments. • Explore best practices and lessons from Denver Health’s recruitment efforts working in youth programs as part of their Pre-Health Pipeline Programs to impact positive development and build the health care workforce. • Learn lessons from “The Listening Project,” a human-centered design approach that amplified patient voice as a catalyst for transforming clinical care.

Annotation: In this webinar, members of the National MCH Workforce Development Center explain the basics of the Water of Systems Change (WSC) framework and how it is used as an organizing theory for state and local health departments to organize their efforts in addressing disparities and racism while advancing other social determinants of health (SDOH). The presenters also engage participants in a discussion and brainstorming session of how these approaches can be applied and taught in academic programs. This webinar also explores a new concept — From the Concept to the Concrete to the Classroom — where presenters link conceptual models to what's happening in the field and then bring it full-circle to show how current and future faculty may incorporate new frameworks and implementation practices into academic programs.

Learning Objectives: • Explain the six conditions of the WSC framework. • Identify activities that state and local health departments funded by Title V are using to advance health equity, racial justice, and SDOH. • Expand on ideas generated about how to incorporate the WSC framework into academic settings.

Annotation: Dr. Davis and Dr. Thyden introduced participants to the various “levels” of racism - with emphasis on the broadest level: structural racism. The presenters discussed their research about structural racism and health and provided examples based on their experience as epidemiologists in state and local public health practice. Participants had a chance to identify structural racism in their own areas of practice and interrogate how it may influence maternal & child health.

Learning Objectives: • Define levels of racism including: discrimination, cultural, institutional and structural racism. • Learn about structural racism • Review learner jurisdictions and its relationship with structural racism

Annotation: This video describes how Title V agencies are addressing health equity and social determinants of health (SDOH) as a response to their recent five-year needs assessment. It gives specific strategies being conducted by states and jurisdictions. The presenter then provides a conceptual framework for addressing disparities. This framework serves as the structure to discuss several practical tools to use in equity work. The presentation ends with a summary of where to find additional resources.

Learning Objectives: • Identify how Title V agencies are addressing health equity issues as discovered in their needs assessment. • Synthesize common strategies being used in the field related to both health equity and SDOH. • Utilize additional resources through the MCH Navigator.

Annotation: Utilizing the structure of the Health Equity Framework (HEF), this training spotlight aims to provide trainings that facilitate the translation of science to practice around the complex nature of health equity. The HEF is a science- and justice-based framework for promoting health equity designed for researchers and practitioners working across public health and social science fields. The HEF highlights the explicit and implicit interactions of multilevel influences on health outcomes and emphasizes that health inequities are the result of cumulative experiences across the life span and generations.

Learning Objectives: Strengthen your knowledge base around the four dimensions of the Health Equity Framework: • Systems of power • Relationships and networks • Individual factors • Psychological pathways

Annotation: The webinar presents opportunities and imperatives for the child health system to contribute to dismantling racism and optimizing child health.

Annotation: There is a growing number of states and local jurisdictions declaring racism as a public health issue. What do these declarations mean and how are they helpful in advancing racial equity? How ready is the discipline/field of Public Health to actively respond to declarations? Presenters will explore these compelling questions and more in this webinar.

Learning Objectives: • Learn how racism influences health • Discuss root causes of health equity • Differentiate transactional versus transformative approaches • Review MATCH'S Racism Declaration Action Toolkit

Annotation: This podcast features a conversation between Megan Sandel, MD, MPH, an associate professor of pediatrics at the Boston University Schools of Medicine and Public Health and co-lead principal investigator with Children’s Health Watch, and Rhea Boyd, MD, MPH, a pediatrician, public health advocate, and scholar who is the Director of Equity and Justice for The California Children’s Trust and most recently, co-developed THE CONVERSATION: Between Us, About Us, a national campaign to bring information about the COVID vaccines directly to Black communities.

Learning Objectives: • Understand the role of health care sector efforts to provide assistance to patients to reduce their social risks. • Explore ways in which social inequality has been encoded and medicalized in the conceptualization of social care. • Discuss ways to think differently about what “health equity” means.

Annotation: In this webinar learn about: • The Framework for Child Health Transformation • The Equity Imperative in Health and Early Childhood • Child Health Care and Early Childhood Systems Building
