The Tapestry of Humanism:  Making JEDI Education an Integral Thread of the Residency Curriculum

Date

2025-03-10

Overview

Diverse and inclusive health care teams and clinical environments are integral to providing high-quality care to increasingly diverse patient populations. Fostering learning environments that welcome and promote justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) is essential to cultivating physicians who have the necessary skills to collaborate with and support colleagues from diverse backgrounds. Furthermore, these skills are essential to provide care to diverse patient populations in a culturally sensitive manner. Integrating JEDI education into residency program curricula in impactful ways that reach every learner is critically important to provide equitable, evidence based, compassionate care. This approach allows for JEDI work to be sustained and have lasting effects on trainees and patients.  In this webinar, the presenters will  introduce methods of incorporating  JEDI initiatives and curricula into the larger fabric of the residency training curriculum.  Participants will discover how multiple learning modalities including simulation, small  group discussion, and large group didactics can be utilized to teach and practice key JEDI concepts through innovative didactic and immersive experiences. The presenters will introduce JEDI curricula, modalities and evaluation data from their home institution and discuss how JEDI education can be integrated as a core curriculum, not solely a supplement.
