6/23/20: Medicine, Title IX and Creating an Inclusive Learning Environment

Diversity and inclusion initiatives and Brown University aim to sustain and advance an inclusive community of scholars on campus and throughout the community.  Towards this end, Brown University’s policy on Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment, Sexual Assault, Sexual Exploitation, Relationship and Interpersonal Violence and Stalking Policy makes it the responsibility of all members of the Brown University community to foster an environment free from prohibited conduct.

The virtual workshop will be designed to engage participants with the material through scenarios. Presenters will demonstrate skills for addressing difficult situations (i.e., responding to disclosure of harassment, acting as a bystander when witnessing bias), and apply the Brown University policy to real-world situations in academic medical settings.

Target Audience

All faculty and residents are welcome to attend this live webinar. 

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to: 

  1. Review the ways in which gender-discrimination, harassment and bias manifest in academic medical settings, including in medical teams, and medical education.
  2. Articulate how Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 applies to medical education.
  3. State how Brown University’s policy on Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment, Sexual Assault, Sexual Exploitation, Relationship and Interpersonal Violence and Stalking Policy applies to working in an academic medical setting, including interactions with medical students, residents, and medical school faculty and staff.
