Bystander To Upstander

The School of Medicine is committed to building and maintaining a culture of inclusion for our learners, staff and patients. As we strengthen our understanding of history, fight our implicit biases and work toward being antiracists in all aspects of our institution, we recognize the role that active interventions as upstanders play in maintaining psychological safety. On this page, you will find bystander/upstander resources we've used institutionally, presented nationally and contributed in development with others. 

 

Bystander Intervention Training

This bystander intervention training was hosted by the School of Medicine in May 2020. A number of our faculty members discuss the concept of bystander to upstander, microaggressions and the 5D's model to upstanding.

From Bystander to Upstander: From Advocacy to Action Grand Rounds with Kimberly Manning

This grand round presentation at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine was hosted by Emory School of Medicine faculty Kimberly Manning.

How Bystanders Can Shut Down Microaggressions

This article from the American Psychological Association shares strategies for how you can effectively intervene when you see someone being targeted for an aspect of their identity.

Becoming Active Bystanders and Advocates: Teaching Medical Students to Respond to Bias in the Clinical Setting

Incidents of bias and microaggressions are prevalent in the clinical setting and are disproportionately experienced by racial minorities, women and medical students. These incidents contribute to burnout. Published efforts to address these incidents are growing, but gaps remain regarding the long-term efficacy of these curricular models. In response, faculty at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine developed and longitudinally evaluated a workshop that taught medical students a framework to respond to incidents of bias or microaggressions.

Allyship and Upstanding

This article from Closler, a component of Johns Hopkins Medicine, shares examples of bias and discrimination in the clinical setting and three steps to accomplish and display allyship and upstanding.
