Advancing the Vision for Diversity and Inclusive Excellence

05-08-2019 09:53

Standing at this crossroads of opportunity, we are not discouraged by what we see around us. We are inspired to dream big with our eyes open.  We are casting a vision for diversity and inclusion that will enhance our learning and work environments, attracting increasing numbers of students who will be drawn into the field of family medicine.  Our practices and programs will emerge as spaces in which compassion flourishes and potential for greater positive change is released. Active role modeling of inclusive excellence will support the professional formation of our students and residents, nurture cultural humility, and foster a sense of community-connectedness and resilience.  Our vision must be bold, but we must begin where we are. This session will provide a brief discussion of diversity and inclusive excellence.  A menu of tools and strategies will be presented that can be used by individuals, programs, and organizations that can advance inclusive excellence.  Participants will be engaged and encouraged to identify a goal or next steps they can take when they return home to begin to advance their vision for inclusive excellence with humility and discernment.
