Summary
Healthcare access barriers for patients with migration history in Germany stem from policy issues and inadequate diversity-sensitive medical education. A new network aims to integrate migration and health into curricula, improving care quality.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Medical Education
- Health Equity
Context:
- Patients with migration history in Germany face significant healthcare access barriers.
- These barriers are linked to health policies and a lack of migration- and diversity-sensitive content in health professions education.
- Existing curricula inadequately address the specific health needs of patients with migration backgrounds.
Purpose:
- Establish the Teaching Network Migration and Health to address educational gaps.
- Promote the development of human rights-based, diversity-sensitive, and equity-oriented curricula.
- Facilitate the exchange and development of teaching materials on migration and health.
Summary:
- The network aims to create a model course on migration and health.
- Strategies for longitudinal implementation into regular curricula will be developed.
- The initiative is supported by evaluative research.
Impact:
- Improve the quality of care for patients with migration history.
- Enhance the cultural competence and diversity sensitivity of healthcare professionals.
