A Slice of Humble Pie: Enhancing Sociocultural Humility in Nephrology
October 23, 2020 | 02:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Location: Simulive
Session Description
People from socially marginalized or disadvantaged groups have unique experiences and face unique challenges in society and healthcare. In the setting of kidney diseases, these experiences may affect their clinical outcomes. This session sheds light on four historically marginalized or disadvantaged groups, in and outside the context of kidney care, to enhance humility and competence in providing care for people from these groups.
Learning Objective(s)
- Examine the experiences of spiritual or religious minority groups in relation to kidney care and outcomes
- Discuss housing insecurity and homelessness, their impact on health outcomes, and efforts to mitigate this impact
- Describe food insecurity and the experiences of children with ESKD who are living with food insecurity
- Identify key considerations when addressing health needs of indigenous people

Raj is an established Health Services Researcher with experience in clinical translational and community-based participatory research (CBPR) studies in minorities including American Indians and Hispanics. Raj has worked toward establishing / promoting the community-partnered research as a way to address many of the health disparity issues in order to deepen the scientific base of knowledge in the areas of health promotion, disease prevention, and health disparities for chronic diseases with special emphasis in diabetes, heart and kidney disease. Raj’s professional career is unique and multifaceted with sustained superior performance in employing unique models of health care delivery and health care policies in rural minorities. The pre-eminent contribution by Raj is in home-based health care services that are sensitive to the culture and traditions of communities being served. Finally, over the past two decades, Raj has worked tirelessly with Native communities to address persistent health disparities and has produced an impressive body of work and innovation in diabetes and kidney disease. Recently, through his second PCORI funded project of home base care in 4 Native communities, he is evaluating the role of CHR in patient engagement to help address the patient level fatigues in different aspects of diabetes and kidney care. Recently he received NIH RO1 grant to recruit 500 American Indians with chronic kidney disease to study ambulatory monitoring of kidney function and damage along with evaluations of CVD sub-phenotypes using mobile health technologies. On July 1 2020, Raj received major funding from PCORI to study COVID19 related disruption in health and health care in 4 communities of American Indians of NM. Furthermore, a P20 center of Alzheimer disease to focus on American Indians and dementia received funding from Aug 1 2020.
