EXPIRATION DATE: 9/2/2023

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PARTICIPATION

DESCRIPTION

Increasing awareness of disparities in healthcare, systemic racism, and other forms of discrimination have sparked interest in work around diversity and inclusivity. Utilizing precise terminology is often a first step that enables establishment of concrete goals, allocation of resources, and tracking metrics of impact. A second important component that enables success is the establishment of a network of allies; the success of many inclusivity strategies frequently requires direct support of individuals (that belong to a minority) as well as broader and durable institutional efforts.

Would you know what to say or do when someone tells an inappropriate joke in the workplace? Would you intervene? Unfortunately, decades of bystander apathy literature would suggest that most people don’t speak up for a variety of well-intentioned reasons. These microaggressions have a cumulative impact on those who are targeted, creating a difficult work place, typically for those who identify as traditionally underrepresented in medicine. This session will discuss microaggressions and how you can be prepared to respond in the moment.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this activity, participants will have strategies to:

• Review important terminology on the subject of diversity and inclusivity;
• Describe characteristics of effective allies;
• Present examples of various types of allies and the impact they have on minorities surrounding them;
• Learn about the bystander apathy effect;
