Creating an Inclusive Academic Medicine Environment: High Quality Learning in Health Professions Education
Description
Training in the health professions can feel both inclusive and alienating for all learners, but especially for those in underrepresented student groups. The literature and shared experiences of ethnic minority learners teach us best practices for building high quality and inclusive education programs in the health sciences. Join us for the fourth of a four-part series as we:
- Learn how to recognize experiences and perceptions of health professions trainees from ethnic minorities
- Define and recognize examples of disparity
- Describe interventions that have successfully reduced disparities experienced by trainees from ethnic minorities
Designed for
Creighton Faculty and Staff.
