AAS Town Hall Webinar – Racial Discrimination in Academic Surgery

When: Today, June 24, 2020
Time: 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM ET

Register: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/7015925914473/WN_WrnXZAPMRIuqsdtIY11A0Q

The Association for Academic Surgery (AAS) recognizes its obligation to address the lack of diversity within the academic surgical workforce. We believe tackling this problem is essential to attaining health equities as we strive to deliver care to an increasingly diverse patient population. Recent events have highlighted that our efforts thus far have been insufficient, but these events have also strengthened our commitment to changing this status quo. Join us as we discuss Racial Discrimination in Academic Surgery and tools to counteract systematic bias in academic surgery. Please also read the AAS Commitment to Diversity in Academic Surgery at https://www.aasurg.org/aas-commitment-to-diversity-in-academic-surgery/
Topics:
  • Racial discrimination amongst surgical trainees – how prevalent is it?
  • Racial discrimination in surgical faculty  – barriers to retention and promotion.
  • How to be an effective bystander and ally
  • Our role as surgeons in addressing healthcare disparities through research

Webmaster at Association for Academic Surgery
The Association for Academic Surgery was founded in 1967 and has grown significantly over the years being widely recognized as an inclusive surgical organization with over 2,500 member surgeons. Active members have traditionally held faculty appointments at a recognized academic center. Active membership is also available to senior/chief residents and fellows in approved training programs in general surgery and the surgical specialties. The impetus of the membership remains research-based academic surgery.
