Summary

The goal of CONSULT-BP is to train early-stage healthcare providers, including residents and nurse practitioner (NP) students, to mitigate providers' bias, improve communication skills, and enhance providers' ability to develop authentic and meaningful therapeutic alliances with patients. The study setting is an academic safety net hospital that serves a large non-White and poor population. The Investigators hypothesize that patients' outcomes (blood pressure levels) will be lower after the training intervention compared with before training (control) periods.

CONSULT-BP Educational Intervention

CONSULT-BP is a two sessions training provided to healthcare trainees over a 5-week period. The first session focused on (1) didactic overview of healthcare disparities, social drivers of health, implicit bias and systemic racism and (2) interactive discussions and patient storytelling videos to raise awareness of the bi-directional role of racial and ethnic identity among clinicians and patients. The second session focused on skill building and included (1) bias mitigation strategies based on the RELATE bias mitigation tool and (2) skill practice using 2 standardized patient simulated clinical encounters focusing on hypertension management challenges.
