Abstract
Implication Statement
Previous research in our department on equity-deserving groups revealed that physician leaders could improve their understanding of barriers faced by physicians from these groups. We developed EDI Moments, a brief, recurring educational intervention, to raise the EDI literacy of physician leaders in our Department of Medicine. In addition to being considered a good use of time by attendees, EDI Moments have led to new processes and policies to improve EDI in our department. Teams that implement EDI Moments should leverage local EDI expertise and select topics suited for their audience’s baseline knowledge.
Résumé
Énoncé des implications de la recherche
Des travaux antérieurs menées dans notre département sur les groupes visés par l’équité ont révélé que les médecins leaders avaient une compréhension insuffisante des obstacles auxquels sont confrontés les médecins appartenant à ces groupes. Nous avons créé les Moments EDI, une brève intervention éducative périodique visant à améliorer les connaissances des médecins leaders de notre département de médecine d’EDI. Ceux qui y ont assisté estiment que cela a été un bon investissement de leur temps, mais les Moments EDI ont avant tout déclenché l’élaboration de processus et de politiques pour renforcer l’EDI dans le département. Les équipes qui organisent les Moments EDI devraient tirer parti de l’expertise locale en matière d’EDI et choisir des sujets adaptés aux connaissances de base de leur public.
