The MMA will host a 90-minute virtual workshop "Reckoning with Racism in Medicine” on November 18 at 5 pm.
There is an increasing need to promote anti-racism in medicine in Minnesota. Discrimination in the workplace is associated with negative implications relating to career advancement and satisfaction, physical and mental health, well-being, and burnout. Efforts to create inclusive and equitable environments must acknowledge the harmful effects of racism, microaggressions, and implicit bias.
This interactive workshop will feature compelling video stories from physicians of color about their experiences studying and practicing medicine in Minnesota. Through critical dialogue and reflection, this workshop will inspire understanding, compassion, and the motivation to work toward an anti-racist culture of medicine in Minnesota.
Participants will:
Identify issues faced by physicians from marginalized groups
Explain how racism in medicine relates to health equity and workforce diversity
Recognize actions and steps needed to develop a more inclusive culture of medicine.
The Minnesota Medical Association (MMA) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The MMA designates this live activity for a maximum of 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
