While many in health justice work agree that “the arc of the moral universe… bends toward justice,” it does not do so without concerted efforts to explicitly address racism and systems of oppression that transform and dismantle the policies and institutions that uphold white supremacist values. We can begin by changing individual attitudes, mindsets, and interpersonal interactions by fostering more inclusive learning environments.

In our everyday interactions, we often make assumptions about our colleagues’ invisible identities, which can contribute to the harm caused by microaggressions and other interpersonal manifestations of unconscious biases. Making the implicit explicit in our learning environments allows for critical analysis of our own social identities such as race, class, and age, so we can more clearly see how larger systems of privilege and oppression are manifesting in ourselves, in our group discussions, and in our communities.

This interactive didactic will equip emergency medicine educators with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to create inclusive spaces in which diverse trainees can learn and thrive. Through a proven combination of didactic and experiential embodied learning, participants will gain knowledge and skills to advance equity on shift and in the classroom. You’ll leave this session with at least four new strategies for creating safe spaces, mitigating bias, addressing racism in medicine, and a new critical awareness of your own social realities.
