description Objectives/Goals: To assess the attitudes toward social justice of residents and faculty following the didactic series and evaluate the impact of the longitudinal curriculum on resident engagement in social justice activities through community engagements. Methods/Study Population: Data were gathered through questionnaires collected from participating residents and faculty. The session topics were chosen based on “Precepting Toward Social Justice” curriculum from the University of Minnesota Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, including sessions on advocacy, diversity, and implicit bias, among others. The self-assessment questionnaires were specific to the topics of the lecture, assessing knowledge, skills, and attitudes before and after the education sessions. Participants were asked to rate these aptitudes of each topic from “none” to “expert.” Results/Anticipated Results: Out of 22 total participants, 16 returned surveys. Overall, there was a substantial improvement in aptitudes after the lecture. There was an increase in reported above average knowledge of topics: Agency (12.5% to 56.25%), Humility (18.75% to 62.5%), Dignity (12.5% to 62.5%), Partner (18.75% to 50%), Awaken (37.5% to 75%), Place (12.5% to 43.75%), Asset (0% to 37.5%), Sanctuary (6.25% to 50%), Belonging (0% to 37.5%), Whole (0% to 43.75%), Liberation (12.5% to 68.75%), and Heal (37.5% to 75%). 31% reported that the lectures alone had an above average influence on pursuing more social justice activities through community engagement. 44% reported that the lectures had an above average impact on their subsequent patient encounters. 69% stated that this series helped develop their overall social justice skills. Discussion/Significance of Impact: All patients deserve equitable care. Family physicians have a unique role in addressing social justice concerns to eliminate inequalities and drive for better health outcomes. By enforcing social justice in education and implementing it into practice, satisfaction, trust, and well-being of patient and provider will be improved.
