| Title | Anti-Oppression Leadership Education in Academic Medicine |
| Background/Purpose | We offered a retreat for academic medicine leadership to disrupt the ways in which the medical curricula uphold paradigms of oppression. Content was based on published evidence of best practices in anti-oppression strategies, historical literature and documents, and personal experiences/accounts of oppression in medical education. The in-person format consisted of plenary style lectures, large and small group discussion, and breakout rooms on a number of priority topics identified by a panel of opinion leaders and experts in the field of equity, diversity, and inclusion. |
| Methods | Participants were invited to complete an online evaluation survey of the retreat, including goals for change via email. We used the consolidated framework for implementation research to guide survey development to identify anticipated barriers and enablers. Quantitative survey data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. |
| Results | Participants (n=31) were mostly senior academic medicine leadership (61%), with other representation from across the MedEd continuum. 90% intended to make changes, and common themes were:1) advocating for change (e.g., funding, education), 2) furthering professional development, and 3) allyship/managing microaggressions. Participants reported the main barriers as a lack of relative priority, and engagement of the broader faculty of medicine and staff. |
| Discussion | Participants recognized the need for change, but motivation and confidence varied. Ongoing education and professional development are needed, and multifaceted approaches to ensure broader engagement and meaningful change. |
