The Specialist Services Committee invites Faculty of Medicine faculty and students to join other physician leaders for this hands-on workshop on Saturday, June 10.
- Date: Saturday, June 10, 2023 from 8:45 am–5:00 pm
- Location: The Westin Wall Centre, 3099 Corvette Way, Richmond, BC
- Keynote speaker: Dr. Sanjiv Chopra, “Leadership styles in the 21st Century: Changing with needs of our profession and patients”.
Both physicians and patients experience racism and inequities that then affects the ability to provide care, and for patients the ability to receive care, in safe and respectful environments. Medical leaders have a unique responsibility to recognize and help mitigate bias and inequity in each workplace.
Through a series of reflection activities, physician participants will grow to appreciate how blinding first impressions can be, how unspoken (often unconscious) biases can also pose a barrier to recruiting and retaining a diverse healthy workforce, and learn how to work through these unconscious biases.
