Monday, October 24
Teaching Up- How to teach your teachers without losing your medical career
12-1pm
@ HSC
Imagine that your attending doesn't prescribe a black patient painkillers because "they can handle more pain than other kinds of people," or a resident you are working with refuses to address a trans person by their preferred pronouns. How do you react? These are people who clearly have more authority, clout, and power than you.
In this session participants will watch portions of the session "Transforming Potential Minefields in Learning Opportunities" from the LGBTQ Health Summit, and pause for group discussion to focus on how medical students can navigate this difficult terrain of power differentials while on clerkships.
This session will be facilitated by a panel of attendings and residents.
Free lunch with RSVP.
This session is developed ad supported by medical student representatives from AMSA and HSC Pride, as well as the LGBT Center, Student Affairs, and Office for Community Engagement and Diversity.
