UCSF CHESA Health Equity Curriculum – The Health Equity Curriculum (HEC) was created by the Center for Health Equity in Surgery and Anesthesia (CHESA) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) with contributions from multidisciplinary collaborators. The HEC was designed to fill a gap in health equity education for surgery and anesthesia residents to better serve patients. The curriculum is intended to be integrated into the core training for all residents, provide exposure that generates career interest, and be complimented by more robust training opportunities and pathways in global health. https://globalsurgery.org/health-equity-curriculum/
UCLA Anesthesiology Global Health Equity – This mission of the UCLA Anesthesiology Department’s Global Health Equity section is, “To be at the forefront of various aspects of global health equity work in anesthesia around the world through education, research and advocacy by working hand in hand with collaborators in low-resource settings.”
