Did you know…
… the average cost of losing a faculty member in a department of medicine exceeds $400,000?
… improving departmental climate can increase faculty retention, particularly for female faculty and faculty of color?
… male and female faculty in departments with good climate write more papers and bring in more grant dollars?
… women in more supportive climates experience lower levels of work-to-family conflict, even when working 70 hours per week?
The BRIM Initiative can help improve your departmental climate by addressing implicit bias among faculty members.
The BRIM Initiative features a three-hour evidence-based workshop with three modules:
- Implicit bias as a habit
- Becoming bias literate: if you name it, you can tame it
- Evidence-based strategies to break the bias habit
