Addressing Bias, Bigotry, and Discrimination at UC Davis Speaker Series
This Dynamic Discussions series is hosted by the Department of Internal Medicine at UC Davis Health and is funded through a grant to address and combat antisemitism, Islamophobia, and other forms of bias, bigotry, and discrimination.

Featured article from the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion "Internal Medicine launches new speaker series".

Background
Heightened tensions stemming from the conflict in the middle east have led to hate crimes and discriminatory incidents on campuses nationwide. Compounding these tragic events are the political climate and resultant silencing of discourse. This has impacted our faculty, staff, and students, who have a need to collectively process these events. This Grand Rounds series hopes to establish a safe forum where perspectives can be expressed and shared with thoughtful exchange of ideas. Nationally renowned experts and speakers in their respective fields have been invited to deliver Grand Rounds for the Department of Internal Medicine.

Learning Outcomes

• Participants will demonstrate increased knowledge on the background and historical context of the current Middle East conflict.
• Participants will be able to express the moral and ethical dilemmas that comprise the current tactical strategies around the conflict.
• Participants will apply techniques to help process traumatic events.
• Participants will demonstrate increased knowledge around structural racism, and bigotry with specific techniques to address antisemitism, Islamophobia, and racism.
