Northeast Region: Prosperity Zone 1
Speaker will be Courtney Caiola, Associate Professor at ECU College of Nursing discussing structural competency.
“Structural competency, a term coined by Jonathon Metzl
and Helena Hansen, is the trained ability to discern and
address the pathologies of social, political, and economic
systems generating health inequities; it requires both health
professional training and the humility to recognize the
structural constraints of patients and clinicians alike
(Metzl & Hansen, 2014).”
