Microaggressions MACROIMPACT: Identifying and Addressing Microaggressions in Our Personal and Professional Environments

Through this seminar, we will define microaggressions, identify the various types of microaggressions, and explore the macro-impact of microaggressions within our personal and professional environments. We will also discuss strategies for addressing microaggressions via a didactic and interactive format. The workshop component of this session will include review of techniques to address discriminatory patient encounters within the clinical learning environment, small group case-based opportunities to practice response strategies and debriefing and discussion of options for reporting such events.
