Description
The composition of psychiatry residency and fellowship programs has become increasingly diverse. [1] Diversity in the psychiatry workforce is essential to providing high-quality, culturally sensitive patient care, promoting innovation and growth within the organization, and addressing the unique needs of underserved populations through research and advocacy. [1] Diversity, equity, and inclusion within residency and fellowship training programs have risen to the forefront as a strategy to address health inequities. [2] Residency programs and sponsoring institutions are required to “provide a professional, equitable, respectful, and civil environment that is free from discrimination, sexual and other forms of harassment, mistreatment, abuse, or coercion of students, residents, faculty, and staff.” [2] Despite this, many healthcare leaders navigate complex situations regarding discrimination, racism, and fear of retaliation in everyday practice. Many psychiatry residency program leaders can find it challenging to intervene with supervisees involving aspects of diversity and equity, putting themselves in uncomfortable positions requiring feedback on these issues. Even in the most diverse and inclusive programs, senior residents and faculty face challenges in managing the complexities of ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, and age among patients, staff, and residents. [2] The Florida Psychiatric Society, a district branch of the APA, partnered with the psychiatry residency programs in Florida to provide chief residency leadership experience. RIPPLE, Residents in Psychiatry Programs Leadership Experience, provides chief residents and fellows with the opportunity to develop their leadership skills. Florida is a geographically dispersed state with great diversity within its residency and fellowship programs. RIPPLE brings together chiefs providing a familiar venue to foster specific leadership skills, such as effective communication and conflict resolution. The three presenters are psychiatry chiefs who will guide group discussions of leadership dilemmas and illustrate how the leadership training has helped enhance their ability to address diversity, equity, and inclusion. The presentation and cases will illustrate actual biases and diversity issues encountered in respective psychiatry residency and fellowship programs, improve awareness and facilitate discussion on strategies and management.
