The Community Resiliency Model: A Strengths-based Workshop to Promote Resiliency
Tuesday, September 15 | 5:30-6:30pm
Stress has always been part of healthcare, and it is increased in this pandemic. Part of the stress is time pressure and the need to keep performing optimally in acute situations. This leads to the paradox that methods of stress reduction that require time may in some situation cause stress themselves and be impractical. This workshop will introduce methods to deal with stress in exercises that can be done in minutes.

Race and Health Policy
Tuesday, November 10 | 5:30-6:30pm
Are racial and ethnic disparities in our US healthcare system, the results of unfortunate turn of events in history, or the results of systemic racism that have continued to plague the US?
In this lecture, we will examine key elements of our health care system to explore how the history of systemic racism in the US has shaped our current system in each area and how specific policies can mitigate or even exacerbate health inequities, including inequities in medical education. We will discuss how advocacy endeavors can be challenging in today’s polarized political environment.

Leading Through Challenging Times/Crises
Thursday, November 19 | Noon-1pm
On January 12th, 2010, Army Lieutenant General Ken Keen, was visiting with the U.S. Ambassador at his residence in Port-au-Prince, Haiti when a 7.0 earthquake struck the nation. It killed over 220,000 people, injured another 300,000 and left over 1.2M homeless. Thrust into a sudden crisis, LTG Keen was charged with leading a military Joint Task Force of over 22,000 service men and women in a humanitarian assistance mission to save lives and mitigate the suffering of the Haitian people. Since March 2020, all of us have been experiencing the challenges of dealing with a global pandemic and what it takes to lead during these challenging times. What are the common lessons we can learn from Haiti and our experiences during the global pandemic?
