DESIGNED FOR

This virtual workshop is designed for individuals who want to understand how dominant culture operates in academic medicine to maintain the status quo and impedes progress around diversity, equity and inclusion. This workshop is also designed to provide a self-reflective space for participants to consider their own multiple identities and the power they hold. 

OVERVIEW AND BENEFITS

Equity and inclusion can thrive and grow when everyone plays a part in creating respectful and safe environments. This workshop will explore concepts related to allyship and how participants can support those around them. Starting with foundational information on identity, power, and privilege, participants will discuss how some identities hold more or less power and privilege in academic medicine and our communities broadly. Identities that carry more power create dominant cultures in society, which both intentionally and unintentionally oppress or disadvantage others, often in the form of microaggressions. Participants will learn how a culture of respect and accountability is created through everyday acts of allyship and how these can be integrated into the academic medicine environment. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 

• Reflect on one’s own identity, power, and privilege. 
• Explore how biases can manifest as microaggressions and create a hostile work environment. 
• Discover elements of dominant culture to practice effective allyship.
• Explore allyship strategies to create supportive and inclusive environments.
