Microaggressions continue to surface during daily interactions with patients, among caregivers and elsewhere in our Healthcare organizations. This has a negative impact on healthcare access and delivery, education and undermines personal and team well-being. This session will define microaggressions, provide historical context and current impact on Healthcare Institutions. Facilitators will lead participants in a review and discussion of microaggressions based on real vignettes. There will be a focus on how to challenge these behaviors, mechanisms to report such occurrences and expectations for Leadership and Institutional response. Key points will be reviewed in a final session, and participants will receive a list of reference publications and notable National initiatives that support best practice.

Approaching Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Across Medical Education - 3 Approaches and Cross Cutting Themes

Medical educators have long recognized the need to address Addressing Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI): from trainee and faculty recruitment to education and to trainings on implicit bias and policies. Often each of these approaches is undertaken in isolation due to time/resources despite recognizing their interactive effects. This session will highlight three AIAMC members’ comprehensive EDI medical education plans with progress and metrics to date. Participants will be divided into small breakout groups to identify additional EDI activities undertaken by participants and metrics with each breakout co-facilitated by planning members representing two of our three organizations to optimize perspectives and report outs. Facilitators will report out their small group’s findings and explore opportunities for collaboration across organizations. Closing comments from session leaders along with a curated reference and resource list will be provided.
