How to Use this Learning Resource

The H.E.A.L. Healthcare LEARNING RESOURCE is organized by the BIASES that exist and patients experience within the healthcare system. The learning resource consists of individual and distinct learning and teaching CURRICULA, each of which address one or more biases. Within a curriculum, there are one to several LESSONS that participants interact with to complete the curriculum. The lessons vary in media including video, audio, written word, and hands-on activities. 

To start learning:

  1. Go to the Curricula page and select a bias to address.
  2. Within that bias, select a curriculum to complete.
  3. In that curriculum, work through the lessons in order. 
  4. At the end, complete the evaluation form to share your input.

As you interact with this learning resource remember that:

  • Each curricula was created by a unique contributor or team of contributors with lived experience and expertise, and their content reflects their unique language, experience, and creative process.
  • There is no prescribed order to complete the learning resource. Which bias and associated curriculum you start with depends on you.
  • The majority of the curricula address more than one bias, so you will intersect with certain curricula under multiple biases.
  • There will be moments of discomfort as you work through the lessons. The expectation is that you’ll approach each lesson leading with your heart first.

Facilitation Guides

Each of the curricula within the H.E.A.L. Healthcare curriculum can be self-directed and done by an individual. However, for those that would prefer to work as a collective or integrate the curricula into existing courses, here are some recommended facilitation formats to support organizing your own H.E.A.L. Healthcare Learning Group!

 

Small Group

This format is best suited for small or large groups in-person or virtually, that have a total of 1-1.5 hours together. Examples include Lunch & Learns or a dedicated meeting time. Curricula that have single-lessons of 10-45 minutes in length are ideal for one-off small group sessions. Participants work through the lesson as a group in real time.

Journal Club

This format is best suited for groups of 20 of less that can meet on a regular basis. Curricula that have multiple lessons of 10-45 minutes in length are ideal for Journal Clubs. The club would review the content ahead of the meeting, spend the time together to discuss the learning and work on the self-reflection questions, and then choose to work through the next lesson as a group or independently.
