“Managing DEI as a Change Initiative: Process, Pitfalls, and Perks”

Anique Forrester, MD

Consult Liaison Psychiatry Fellowship Program Director

DEI has traditionally been handled in academia as an HR or recruitment priority. At times, institutions have hired or created positions such as Dean or Vice Dean for Diversity with varying levels of institutional support and engagement. These positions can be far removed from the daily operations and culture of a department or institution. With recent calls to increase attention to DEI at all levels of medical training, it has become apparent that in order to meaningfully evolve in this space, institutions must embrace total cultural shifts which incorporate DEI principles in all aspects of operations. This process remains fraught with peril as many remain unprepared/unwilling to change standard operating procedures in ways which would meaningfully support DEI initiatives long term. This session describes a framework which can meaningfully be incorporated on a large-scale, thus creating a wider network of support for traditional DEI roles in academia.

“ABOS Knowledge, Skills & Behavior Program”

Frank Henn, MD

Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program Director & Interim Chair Department of Orthopaedics

The American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) has developed a standardized platform for assessment of knowledge, skills and behavior that is accessible to all orthopaedic programs. We initiated use in July of 2022 and have found it to be helpful. 

“Professional Identity Community of Practice”

Peter Jin, MD

Neurology Residency Program, Associate Program Director

Our trainees face tremendous day-to-day stress from external and internal sources regarding their professional identities. They frequently do so without an effective avenue to disclose, process, or grow from these experiences. Faculty are often unequipped and untrained in facilitating our trainees through these experiences. I hope to form a community of practice on professional identity to build roots for developing faculty into leaders and guides that our trainees need in their journeys of professional identity formation.
