Cultural QI

Cultural Quality Improvement is a departmental-wide program to discuss, educate, and reflect on the interactions and situations often faced in the hospital that make department members feel uncomfortable, discriminated against, othered, or invalidated. The hospital is a complex environment with a myriad of communications and interactions between staff, colleagues, trainees, students, patients, and families that sometimes result in a situation that you wish would have been better. We are all working to improve, and discussing these situations is a way we can all improve and work on our professional development as departmental members, leaders, and educators.

Cultural QI cases are discussed at our monthly department M&M. Click here to submit a case.

Diversity Lectures

Started in 2016, the Department's Annual Diversity Lecture was created to showcase either diversity/equity/inclusion or professional development. The 2-day visit, which usually occurs in March, includes meetings with faculty, residents, and staff. Watch past lectures.
