November 10, 2022: Psychiatry Grand Rounds
A Path Forward: Best Practices and Lessons Learned to Attract, Support and Promote a Diverse and Inclusive Trainee Workforce
Recruiting a diverse workforce is a national and institutional imperative. Current trainees in our programs are our best recruiters. However, there continue to be significant barriers to recruitment of trainees underrepresented in medicine, including bias in recruiting and in the learning environment. In this interactive session, Drs. Torres and Olson will focus on institutional lessons learned during these past virtual recruitment seasons, defining forms of bias, identifying strategies and action steps all faculty can take to address bias and create a supportive and respectful environment during the recruitment process and beyond.
