Event Workshops
Workshop 1: Enhancing Psychological Safety to Prevent Learner Mistreatment
Presenters: Stacie Jhaveri, MD; Diane Young, MD; Robert Wilson, MD
Description: Learner mistreatment has been a persistent issue in medical education despite efforts to address it from the lens of the student and of the faculty. Psychological safety has been recognized as the most important factor associated with successful teams. Medical teams have inter-professional, multigenerational, multispecialty and multicultural members collaborating in high stakes, high acuity situations requiring the highest success to achieve safe outcomes. For many reasons, students often struggle with finding their place on the team, so creating psychologically safe spaces for all members, will not only strengthen the team, but decrease mistreatment and improve wellness in the clinical learning environment.
Workshop 2: LGBTQ+ Curricular Needs Assessment: Models, Processes, Reflections
Presenters: Jason Lambrese, MD; Laura Mintz, MD, PhD; Maeve Hopkins, MD; Nicole Ducich, MS2; Gus Roversi, MS2
Description: Over the last year, CWRU School of Medicine and CCLCM have undertaken curricular needs assessments to identify areas of inclusion for topics pertinent to the LGBTQ+ community, begun implementation of curricular changes, and designed an annual survey of medical students' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding LGBTQ+ healthcare. This workshop will explore the parallel processes occurring at each of the medical school programs, identify best practices that have led to curricular change, and reflect upon lessons learned. These projects are unique in their student-driven nature, key involvement of junior faculty, long-term design with planned annual assessments, and use of evidence-based and national competencies as a backbone of the intervention.
Workshop 3: Curriculum Review: Value of what we teach, the value of the hidden curriculum in training the next generation of physicians on anti-racism
Presenters: Monica Yepes-Rios, MD; Neil Mehta, MD; Saloni Lad, MS2; Mihika Thapliyal, MS1
Description: Our pre-clerkship curriculum’s robust introduction to health disparities and the Clinical Skills training course were both thoroughly reviewed for opportunities to increase awareness of the history of racism in medicine and ongoing structural racism and health disparities, and for skills training with more diverse standardized patients and risks of bias in the care of patients. We initiated the case presentation review with the basic science curriculum in our problem-based learning groups and seminars to evaluate biases, stereotypes, and opportunities for incorporating health disparities. Two other groups are evaluating disparities in LGBTQ+ and disabilities-related topics, determining gaps and opportunities to increase awareness across the curriculum. Additionally, several groups are focused on addressing the impact of the hidden curriculum with respect to diversity and inclusion: increasing faculty diversity through recruitment and retention, mentoring of underrepresented minority students, and building a culture of anti-racism by curtailing microaggressions and fostering allyship within the medical school community. The goal of this interactive workshop is to review opportunities and barriers to a deliberate approach at the visible and hidden curriculum as we train the next generation of physicians on anti-racism.
Workshop 4: Approach to Microaggressions in Clinical Medicine
Presenters: Sally Namboodiri, MD, FACP; Timica Campbell, MD, MPH
Description: Present background information, including definitions, types, and examples of microaggressions as well as controversies regarding the concept of microaggressions and challenges with research. Approaches to various types of microaggressions will be reviewed from the perspectives of a victim and a bystander. Case-based scenarios will be given to small groups of participants and we will have break-out Zoom sessions where each group can discuss and come to a consensus regarding the best approach to each situation. All the groups will meet back in the big Zoom group for a debriefing and discussion of cases with the facilitators. The session will conclude with a summary of take-home points and allow for participant questions.
Workshop 5: Excellence Through Equity and Inclusion Along the Pipeline: Sustaining the Momentum
Presenters: Angelique Rudus-McCoy, MD; Kammeron Brissett, MD; Adrianna Jackson, MD
Description: The session will outline points at which barriers and inequities exist along the pipeline to careers in medicine for those who are underrepresented in the field. The session will specifically focus on how we can build upon the current momentum towards equity, inclusion, and excellence in medicine by 1) enhancing pipeline programming, 2) supporting URiM medical students and trainees and 3) creating an equitable, inclusive, anti-racist environment. After hearing examples of these efforts in our institution and beyond, participants will be able to brainstorm collectively in breakout rooms to identify first (or next) steps in creating and sustaining such efforts in their respective educational and professional spaces.
Workshop 6: MedEd and it's Muslim Trainees: Bridging the Gap in Professional and Spiritual Values
Presenters: Lyba Zia, MS4; Humzah Quereshy, MS4; Farah Rahman, MS4
Description: Despite being overrepresented in the realm of practicing physicians in the United States, Muslim medical trainees face a myriad of challenges that make it difficult to navigate the healthcare field while maintaining their faith-based values and responsibilities. Fear of deviating from the status quo and acquiring the label of “other,” along with the recent rise of Islamophobia nationally, leads many trainees to hesitate from expressing these challenges with leadership. Accommodations for Muslim trainees in healthcare are possible and can be achieved without substantial difficulty; however, they require the cultivation of an inclusive environment as well as judgment-free conversation with preceptors, program directors, and colleagues. Our workshop will discuss some of the Islamic values that come into play for Muslims in medicine during their training, discuss barriers that exist in the fruition of an inclusive environment, and offer best practices for program and school leadership to meet the needs of these trainees.
