Education and Evaluation
Central to the mission of this subcommittee is the recognition that justice and equity in education is requisite for a healthy training and working environment for students, residents, fellows, current and future faculty. In pursuit of this goal, we plan to:
- promote education programming and mentorship to support a diverse cohort of medical students to enter a career in surgery
- assess and improve upon the current state of surgical trainee evaluation to eliminate the impact of implicit and explicit bias
- evaluate the surgical conference content to ensure inclusion of education on cultural competency, structural racism and implicit bias
- provide ongoing faculty development sessions in topics related to diversity, equity and inclusion
