In November 2018, the Baltimore Sun published articles about a sexual harassment lawsuit and broader workplace culture concerns at the UMSOM. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Nancy Lowitt, Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and Professional Development and now Director of the Culture Transformation Initiative, to learn what changes are happening at the medical school as a result. How do we transform a workplace culture? What comes next?

Happy new year! We kick off 2019 with a conversation about social justice, implicit bias, social determinants of health, and patient advocacy with the course director of our Social Justice elective, Dr. Darlene Robinson, and third year medical student Bre Tracey. We talk about what advocacy means, why it’s so important for us as clinicians, and where to begin if the endeavor feels too overwhelming at first.
