Closing the Divide: Building Trust by Addressing Bias in Medicine

Closing the Divide: Building Trust by Addressing Bias in Medicine expands the depth and scope of content that addresses encounters marked by biased behaviors in the clinical environment. This initiative provides a framework for how to respond during these types of experiences and conveys how responses may vary across encounter types, when power differentials are present or patients are involved. The content provided through this initiative can be used as preparatory as well as just in time educational resources. The tools provided will assist with creating a platform for honest, open discussions about the presence and impact of biased behaviors in both clinical and nonclinical settings in medicine.

STAND UP: Strategic Training And iNnovation to Develop Upstanders

To more fully advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the clinical work environment, we must teach Bystanders (people present at an incident who do not take part) how to become Upstanders (people who speak or act in support of an individual, specifically intervening on behalf of someone being attacked). STAND UP is an immersive educational program that provides Upstander training through simulation and experiential learning.
