Project Idea Status:
Project Title: Integrating Health Equity into Osher Collaborative Faculty Fellowship Curriculum
Names of Project Lead(s) and Key Team Members: Nico Henderson, Melinda Ring, Anand Dhruva
Brief Project Description, including Feasibility and Anticipated Impact (150 words maximum):
This project proposes hiring an educational consultant to review the Osher Collaborative Faculty Fellowship curriculum to advance health equity. Inspired by UCSF’s Department of Equity and Justice in Education—which offers curriculum reviews for UCSF academic programs but not the Osher Collaborative—the aim is to adapt this approach to enhance our curriculum. The consultant would identify areas for improvement in course materials, teaching methods, and curriculum content, ensuring a whole-person approach to patient care that addresses cultural, social, and structural health factors. By equipping our fellows with evidence-based, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive practices, we will prepare them to deliver inclusive, equitable, and culturally responsive care. Fellows will bring these approaches to their home institutions, spreading these principles to other providers and directly benefiting patients. This initiative aligns with the Osher Center’s mission to reduce healthcare inequities and support patients in achieving their best health and well-being.

Total Budget Requested: We have not obtained a specific estimate, however, for a comprehensive curriculum review, consultants typically charge a flat fee ranging from $5,000 to $20,000, depending on the complexity and depth of the review. For step 2 we could have a better idea.
Next Steps: Gather feedback from OCIH community members, refine the project plan, and align with integrative health equity goals based on forum input.
