In 2021, Dr. Brown took the helm of the Orthopaedic Surgery Service at Harlem Hospital. During her tenure, Dr Brown reconstructed the service, recruiting six Black and Brown orthopaedic surgeons to provide comprehensive musculoskeletal care to the Harlem Community. These fellowship-trained surgeons formed one of the largest Black and Brown orthopaedic groups in the USA.

Proud mom to a young son, Dr. Brown resides in Harlem. When she’s not caring for patients or working to make the world a better place, she enjoys dancing, her Peloton+, family time, and running.

Dr. Brown is committed to her church’s motto “Live. Love. Serve.”

Statement of Need

Disparities in joint health, including access to orthopedic care and rates of surgical intervention for disabling osteoarthritis, exist among racial and ethnic underserved and underrepresented populations. To establish equitable joint health care, it is critical not only to understand the role that race, bias, and social determinants of health education play but also to implement standardized screening, empathy, cultural sensitivity, and personalized care.

In this CME Outfitters BriefCase, Drs. Peek and Brown will guide learners through a patient case scenario reflective of the impact of biases, disparities, and health inequities that reduce the quality of joint health care for racial and ethnic underserved patients. This program will provide actionable strategies, empowering attendees to recognize factors that contribute to care inequities and implement changes in practice to improve access to tools and treatment for patients with joint health concerns.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this CME/CE activity, participants should be able to:

  • Identify the impact of health inequities on patients with joint health concerns.
  • Individualize treatment strategies that include assessment of SDoH for optimal outcomes in patients with joint pain.

Financial Support

Supported by an educational grant from Johnson & Johnson.
