Opening Plenary Session Preparing for Our Changing World: Diversity and the Future of Healthcare and the Chiropractic Profession "In the next 15 years, the nation is projected to confront an overall shortage of physicians, but the need is, and will continue to be, particularly great for minority physicians. By 2050, racial and ethnic minorities are projected to account for half of the U.S. population." "Benefits of a Diverse Physician Workforce: Improved access Studies show that minority physicians are more likely to treat minority patients and indigent patients and to practice in underserved communities. Increased patient satisfaction Studies also indicate that when minority patients can select a health care professional, they are more likely to choose someone of their own racial and ethnic background. Ensuring culturally competent care The nation needs a culturally competent health care workforce—that is, one with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors required to provide the best care to a diverse population." "Diversity in the physician workforce ensures that the health care system is representative of the nation's population and responsive to its health care needs. At the foundation of Healthy People 2010, a national initiative to improve public health, is the premise that "the health of the individual is almost inseparable from the health of the larger community and . . . the health of every community in every State and territory determines the overall health status of the Nation.... The contribution made by a diverse physician workforce to strengthen the foundation of the nation's health is essential."
9:00 am – 10:00 am
Diversity: the Future of Healthcare and the Chiropractic Profession This session will focus on the changing diversity of the US population and its impact on the future of healthcare and the chiropractic profession. Workplace diversity goes beyond tolerance and is the appreciation of differences in ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, sex, gender identity, religion, age, and abilities of the members of the healthcare workforce and the patients we serve. Over the next 10 years, changing demographics in the United States will alter how our profession functions on many levels. As the patient population changes, we will need to prepare our workforce to meet the needs of future patients. Our chiropractic educational programs will continue to evolve along with the population, thus the diversity of our faculty and administration will also need to reflect these changes in race, ethnicity, sex, gender identify, etc. Curricular content will accommodate skills, knowledge and attitudes that will help prepare students for a more diverse patient population. This may include additional training in cultural competency and recruiting diverse student populations. Topics will include: Changing workforce – a look at NBCE job analysis - what our current DC population looks like compared to the US patient population Chiropractic Admissions steps to improving diversity in the student body and chiropractic graduates Curricular improvements to address diversity – including cultural competency in courses and as part of the campus culture Diversity in the chiropractic workplace

4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Closing Plenary Session – Perspectives on Diversity – Overcoming Barriers in Clinical Practice, Research, and Education This session will focus on the barriers to diversity in chiropractic educational institutions and how we might overcome them. Workplace diversity goes beyond tolerance and is the appreciation of differences in ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, sex, gender identity, religion, age, and abilities of the members of the healthcare workforce and the patients we serve. Having a better understanding of the concept of diversity can help us to overcome these barriers in clinical practice, research, and education. Panelists will discuss barriers and how to overcome them: Diversity in the research workforce and study populations Diversity in chiropractic education, students, faculty Diversity and cultural competency skills for clinicians Diversity and cultural differences with patient perceptions of healthcare Diversity in training for special needs populations – aging, children, physical and mental abilities
