Addressing Microaggressions in Academic Health: A Workshop for Inclusive Excellence | Oct. 18.
Addressing Microaggressions in Academic Health: A Workshop for Inclusive Excellence is presented October 18 @ 12:00 p.m. ET.
Health profession schools have acknowledged the need for a diverse workforce by increasing diversity in recruitment, but little has been done to build inclusive excellence in learning environments. Microaggressions and other forms of mistreatment can increase stress levels and depression and negatively impact academic performance. To increase student performance, retention, and wellness, mitigating microaggressions is needed to promote an inclusive culture. This workshop provides practical guidance that helps professionals in academic medicine respond to microaggressions. Attending this workshop will help you:
- Identify the role of each member involved in a microaggression (recipient, source, and bystanders).
- Discuss the nature of microaggressions, including how they could have hurtful impact on the recipients, bystanders, and/or community.
- Discuss responses from each member involved in the interaction that could build inclusive excellence, repair and reestablish relationships, and restore or protect reputations.
