Strategies to Help Female and Underrepresented-in-Medicine Trainees Launch Successful Post-Graduation Careers

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses strategies to help female NGRIM (underrepresented in medicine) trainees launch successful postgraduate careers. The speakers emphasize the importance of advocacy, development sessions, mentorship networks, and a mindset of self-empowerment and creativity in trainee and faculty development. They highlight the need for faculty advocates who can help identify career goals and align them with the department's needs. The speakers also describe initiatives such as mentorship pods and professional development workshops in the residency program to provide guidance and support to trainees. They emphasize the value of mentorship from both male and non-URIM mentors, as well as the importance of networking and creating connections within and outside the institution. The speakers also address issues such as gender and race bias in letters of recommendation and the growing pressure of an idealized version of success in the age of social media. Ultimately, they advocate for lifting each other up and supporting fellow humans in professional growth.
