Video Summary

The panel discussion focused on experiences of bias in medicine, both personal and professional, as well as strategies for managing implicit bias. The panelists shared examples of microaggressions they have faced, such as being mistaken for a nurse, being subjected to offensive comments, and being treated differently based on gender or race. They discussed the importance of speaking up against bias, providing support and mentorship for others, and the role of sponsorship in advancing diversity and equity. The conversation also highlighted the need for organizations like ACOM to have Jedi committees, focusing on justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all members. The key takeaway was the importance of acknowledging and addressing bias in the medical field to ensure fair treatment and opportunities for all individuals.
