Modern medicine is facing a crisis of identity -• at all levels, there are shortages of specialties and we cannot afford to ignore the discrimination and exclusivity that prevents multiple societal groups from joining professions. Specifically, this refers to the exclusivity in surgical specialties and how uncomfortable they have made the LGBTQ population and prevented their interest. Whether you are LGBT or not, we all must actively attract all possible candidates to our respective professions -• there is talent hidden behind closet doors and in inaccessible areas of our even more segmented populations.
This event instructs the participants on how to best approach inclusivity for the LGBTQ population, with assurances that the 'invisible' segments of our populations are sometimes the most important to address directly. The concept of human resources and recruitment excluding key questions may be surpassed by simply acknowledging self and assuring we are attracting the right candidates from the so-called fringes. Constantly attending to the needs of certain groups is easier than originally thought, and can absolutely bring important discussions forward.
In addition, the ability for programs to assure feelings of safety among our constituents once they join remains important. Macro• and micro-aggressions can be fleeting, and must be addressed in a constructive way. When we open our minds to the possible, opportunities present themselves and confirm we provide access to those with enthusiasm and engagement.
Traumatic injury is unpredictable, and constantly challenges providers to assure no item is missed, no stone is unturned in discovering injuries, and the attention to detail is an imperative part of driving a practice. Safety starts in the field with strong immediate, first, and secondary responders assuring they collect all the data available, including details of the injury, so that the tertiary and hospital-based teams are focused on fixing the challenges.
Checklists are only as useful as their use and understanding; processes are only as refined as we make them and observe them compliantly; the reason we must drive towards proper steps and including every reason and rationale is to assure that our learners, passive and active, are continuing to dedicate their lives to lifelong learning. This is how we make care better.
