CLIME symposium- Anti-ableism in Healthcare Education - join us on June 10th! https://clime.washington.edu/2022-clime-together-symposium-2/ 

Dr. Addie McClintock is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She practices at the University of Washington Women’s Health Care Center where she also runs the women’s health training pathway for the internal medicine residency. 

Dr. Tyra Fainstad and Dr. Addie McClintock have teamed up to develop a two-prong approach to help us help our learners manage the impact of impostor phenomenon and exploring the interplay of psychological safety. 

In this second episode Dr. McClintock will be broadening the conversation to describe how we can design the learning environment to create psychological safety and counter impostor phenomenon by creating healthy and functional teams.

Tyra Fainstad, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine, Department of General Internal Medicine, University of Colorado School of Medicine.

In this episode Dr. Fainstad defines impostor phenomenon, how to recognize it in our learners, and strategies you can share with your learners to help them manage it. Dr. Fainstad will be sharing her wisdom about the characteristics and impact of impostor phenomenon and offering powerful strategies that educators can use to help learners manage it.

Kali Hobson, MD., Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellow, Department of Psychiatry, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Division, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA and Roberto Montenegro, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Division, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA

In this podcast, Drs. Kali Hobson and Roberto Montenegro describe the methods they have developed to continuously review and revise curricular content to reduce bias and enhance coverage of societal and structural factors that impact health. Dr. Montenegro, who directs the BRICC (Bias Reduction in Curricular Content) process, also lays out his vision for using technology to automate the review process to insure timely curricular enhancements and project sustainability.

In this podcast Edwin Lindo, JD, CLIME’s Associate Director of Critical Teaching and Equity and William Harris, MD, the block lead for the University of Washington School of Medicine’s Blood and Cancer Block discuss how they worked together to improve a presentation on health outcome inequality, with a specific focus on breast cancer in African American women. We created this podcast to highlight Edwin’s work as a consultant with CLIME. He is available to assist faculty in making their teaching more equitable and inclusive.

In this podcast, Belinda Fu, MD, (aka “theImprovDoc”) discusses how improv transformed her life and propelled her to found The Mayutica Institute, an educational training company, co-organize an Annual International Medical Improv Trainer Workshops, and establish ImprovDoc.org, an educational resource about the use of improvisation in medicine. She shares her approach to teaching improv as well as her personal experience of the transformative power of learning how to listen to others and oneself and say “yes and” to life.

In this podcast, Dr. Bridget O’Brien shares her perspectives on writing scholarship that is compelling and publishable. Drawing on her experience as an education researcher, a deputy editor for Teaching and Learning in Medicine, and a qualitative consultant for Academic Medicine, Dr. O’Brien offers advice on how to write an Introduction to a paper that demonstrates understanding of your topic of study and its importance to the academic community while hooking readers’ interest. Bridget O’Brien is an Associate Professor affiliated with the Office of Medical Education, Research and Development in Medical Education unit (RaDME). She teaches and mentors faculty and learners in several programs, including the UCSF-University of Utrecht doctoral program in Health Professions Education, the Health Professions Education Pathway and the Teaching Scholars Program. At the San Francisco VA, she directs scholarship and evaluation for the Center of Excellence in Primary Care Education and a Fellowship in Health Professions Education Evaluation and Research.

In this podcast, Drs. Amanda Kost, Edwin Lindo, and Roberto Montenegro return to the studio to provide some “real-life” examples of how to implement the critical teaching frameworks they introduced during their first CLIMEcast, “Do No Harm: An Introduction to Equitable Teaching.” They share strategies for framing instructional sessions about race and gender that invite critique and mutual learning, responding positively to student critique, and turning teaching challenges into learning opportunities.

Achieving a just and equitable learning environment that supports learning and the development of socially responsible physicians requires commitment to critically appraising and changing current approaches to teaching and the presentation of content that can be biased and negatively impact learners and the learning environment. In this podcast, Drs. Kost, Lindo, and Montenegro discuss frameworks that educators can use to assess their content and instruction through a critical, structural, and social justice lens.
