Literacy and skills for equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are critical for leaders in academia and medicine. Despite the importance of understand multiple emerging and evolving EDI concepts for fostering an inclusive culture, many leaders do not receive training or continuing professional development in this area.
Facilitators will learn to:
1. Develop foundational literacy for EDI topics.
2. Describe the components of an EDI Moment.
3. Lead discussions about EDI among a group of physicians with varying expertise in EDI.
4. Anticipate and address opposition or conflict related to EDI during discussion.
5. Identify strategies to mitigate personal trauma or discomfort that arises.
Scheduled Facilitator: Dr. Shannon Ruzycki

Participants will be asked to develop and undertake a self-directed learning project to develop their foundational literacy in EDI topics. Other asynchronous training pieces will be required to prepare to run the EDI Moments program. We can provide suggested resources, but participants may adapt this list based on their own interests and skills. The self-directed learning project you develop in the pretraining work, is eligible for Section 2: Self Learning, under Personal learning projects. These are 2 credits per hour and physicians and can be claimed within your MAINPORT ePortfolio directly.
