Medical education leaders are well aware of the social determinants of health and the importance of understanding disparities to ensure patients are empowered and provided the best possible quality outcomes.  Dr. William McDade, Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer, ACGME, will approach this topic in the unique and literature-supported approach of workforce diversity.  Two National Initiative V participants will then share how their 2015-2017 health disparity projects provided them with a starting point in addressing social determinants of health, how those early beginnings have been sustained, and how they are beginning to approach workforce diversity. 

Do you have what it takes to unlock the mystery of the missing radiologist? Follow clues to solve the puzzle and build teamwork, spark friendly competition, and support wellbeing along the way. In 2019, the American College of Radiology (ACR) created an escape room to engage medical students in radiology. But when COVID-19 emerged in early 2020 and social distancing took hold, it was no longer feasible to host the in-person program. The ACR team didn’t let that stop them, though. They quickly transformed the in-person activity into a virtual event. Join this session to participate in the virtual escape room, “Radiology Escapes — The Case of the Missing Radiologist.” Gather 4-6 teammates or signup as an individual player and get ready have fun!  The ACR team will close the session with technical tips and tricks and discuss lessons learned along the way to help you create a virtual escape room that delivers a unique and immersive educational experience. You will leave with the foundational knowledge necessary to build an activity that provides participants with a FUN way to increase collaboration, improve teamwork and communication, and enhance problem-solving skills. Please note that spots are limited, and pre-registration is required.

Penny Williamson, ScD, Senior Facilitator and Mentor, Center for Courage and Renewal

Leadership takes courage in the best of times.  COVID-19 has placed unique challenges, risks and demands on healthcare leaders at an unending pace, with few if any opportunities for support and sense making in community.  None of us can this alone.  This highly interactive workshop will provide trustworthy space for deep listening to ourselves and each other – a place to explore important questions we have wanted to ask ourselves and share:  e.g., What has helped me to stay grounded, resilient and creative in this time of uncertainty and challenge? What have been the unexpected gifts of these months; the unexpected losses?  What do I want to remember moving forward?  Participants will write a letter to themselves to capture lessons and insights for the future.  Please note that seating is limited.
