PAS Workshop: Get Involved! Advocacy Skill-Building and Visibility in an Academic Institution
2020-10-30 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York)
This workshop is geared towards novice physician advocates who are interested in translating their professional expertise to achieve a broader impact for child health. Using highly interactive, real-time learning technology, participants will define physician advocacy, discuss the advantages of pediatrician advocacy, and identify myriad ways that physicians are advocates. Next, individuals will rotate through four simultaneous 20-minute hands-on small-groups led by advocacy experts. Each participant will gain the necessary skills to perform future self-directed advocacy work within their home institution and community. Physicians will then participate in an interactive discussion surrounding strategies for institutional and community buy-in and visibility. Facilitators with expertise in advocacy will assist with idea-sharing and brainstorming to identify key stakeholders within the academic institution who can promote and advertise academic work. The audience will further define academic products and outcomes to increase advocacy work visibility. At the conclusion, participants will have action plan items and next steps for advocacy work to further develop at their academic institution or home community.
Objectives
1) Identify myriad ways in which physicians have incorporated advocacy into their professional work
2) Learn advocacy skills required to communicate to legislators and media, write an op-ed or editorial letter, create a social media strategy, and how individual research can inform child health policy
3) Design an approach to increase the visibility of academic advocacy work

PAS Workshop: Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself! Mitigating Unconscious Bias During Residency and Fellowship Interviews
2020-10-15 15:00 - 16:30 (America/New_York)
Implicit bias is now recognized as a major contributor to health disparities. In light of this knowledge, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has now mandated that residency programs to include implicit bias training for resident physicians . As residency programs develop unique and innovative implicit bias training programs, little to no emphasis has been placed on faculty development about bias, despite knowledge that most physicians hold implicit biases toward the patients they treat. This lack of emphasis is concerning, as we now know from the 2014 CHANGES study studies that learners who are exposed to biased comments from attendings and faculty have increases in their implicit bias over time, as measured by the IAT. The CHANGES study also highlights the importance of diversity in the clinical scenario: medical students exposed to black physician role models were more likely to have decreases in their implicit bias overtime.
This study highlights the need for a diverse physician workforce. Research in hiring and human resources has shown that biases occur during the evaluation and interview process; this may interfere with steps to develop a diverse physician workforce.
Objectives:

Identify areas of unconscious bias that exist when interviewing residency or fellowship applicants
Recognize own biases as they relate to interviewing applicants
Appreciate impact bias has on interviewing
Describe two strategies to mitigate personal biases in order to eliminate bias in interview evaluations
