Do you know someone who might be ready, willing, and able to devote a year to this program? Details are here. The deadline is December 1.
RESOURCES DISCUSSED

Washington Monthly & Lown Institute’s “Best Hospitals for America ranking system? https://washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/july-august-2020/introducing-the-best-hospitals-for-america/ This ranking places high value on civic leadership/community engagement/diversity. The fact that there is virtually no overlap between this and the more commonly cited rankings like US News is illustrative of the lack of inclusion of civic engagement/diversity etc as a central pillar of academic medical institutions/medical education. In many ways a tearing down and rebuilding (or at least a *major* shift) is necessary to meet this need.
Another great resource National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation and resources they have see https://ncdd.org/rc/
Several years ago a nursing colleague -Dr. Phyllis Kritek wrote a great book : Negotiating at an Uneven Table makes explicit many of the issues being discussed and suggests strategies for managing self in the face of the challenges https://avrl.catalogue.library.ns.ca/Record/348697/Excerpt
