October 2023 Grand Round - Satveer Kaur-Gill
"Racially Discordant Provider-Patient Communication during End-of-Life Conversations"
Satveer’s research examines how populations with unequal access to health, social, and digital resources experience health disparities, often adopting a critical interpretive lens such as the culture-centered approach (CCA). Her primary research goal is to build health equity interventions that anchor community and patient voices. This presentation covered how they examined provider communication practices by triangulating methods (semi-structured interviews with patients & providers, observational notes, and conversation analysis) to identify communication inequities occurring in racially discordant provider-patient encounters.
