EDI Journal Club

Safe spaces for impactful dialogue

The objectives of the EDI Journal Club are to:

• Build community amongst faculty, staff and trainees while reviewing articles of equity and diversity inclusion affecting minority groups in academic medicine and healthcare.
• Discuss how bias, stereotypes, microaggression and racism experienced by those underrepresented in medicine and how these experiences affect his/her/their academic trajectory/career.
• Discuss approaches/practices that can be implemented by everyone and how we can help ourselves and others.
