L121526 Pathway to Equity and Inclusive Care: An AI-supported Escape Room Experience - Minneapolis

Minneapolis, MN US
December 15, 2026

This immersive, simulation-based learning experience is for clinical and patient-facing staff to apply principles of equity, inclusion and cultural humility in a dynamic "escape room" format.

Participants will engage with an AI-supported patient scenario involving an adolescent presenting with abdominal pain, requiring teams to navigate clinical decision-making alongside inclusive communication practices.

Through interactive activities - including EMR review, lab selection, comfort care and structured reflection - learners will practice using affirming language, addressing implicit bias, and incorporating cultural and religious considerations into care delivery. The session emphasizes real-time application of gender-affirming care, trauma-informed communication, and respectful patient engagement to improve outcomes and reduce emotional harm.

Session is limited to four learners.

Target Audience

Clinical and patient-facing staff: Physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, residents, fellows, and medical students.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe gender-affirming care and practice communication with patient using appropriate pronouns and scripted medical history and assessment in a trans-gender youth
  • Demonstrate use of comfort measures, pharmacologic & non-pharmacologic means to reduce pain with procedures, and demonstrate use of appropriate and non-threatening language
  • Explain the purpose of Safety Learning Reports and practice reviewing the report analysis in the SBAR format
