Education, Training & Development
Building a Community of Practice
The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is committed to fostering a spirit of intellectual curiosity and a sense of community for the reflective study and practice of medicine. Faculty and staff teams design innovative platforms for engaging colleagues and students in dynamic educational and professional development experiences that altogether help cultivate the capacity to care, teach, learn, and lead in a diverse and evolving, global society.
Community Foundations
At Stritch, effective leadership is collective leadership; a model rooted in Loyola’s Jesuit mission and Ignatian values. The ODEI partners with various departments to facilitate a series of learning experiences that delve into the practice of community. At the core of this curriculum lies the concept of responsible stewardship, which involves leading with reverence––and acting with genuine care––for people, communities, and collective/ shared humanity.
On the first day of M1 Orientation, our physicians-in-training embark on an exploration of what it means to be a part of the Stritch Community. This is achieved through the carefully selected Stritch Common Read and annual Community Foundations curricula. United in part by a shared value and pursuit of magis, Stritch students, faculty, and staff commit to continuously developing their capacity for responsible stewardship throughout their medical education and training, and beyond.
Culturally Responsive Care and Leadership Certificate Program
The Culturally Responsive Care and Leadership (CRCL) Certificate Program is a dynamic community of practice for Stritch medical students and faculty committed to advancing health equity.
Launched in the fall of 2022, the Culturally Responsive Care and Leadership Certificate (CRCL) Program began with student activism for a co-curricular space to engage in dialogue and deeper learning on emerging issues related to culture, power, and identity in academic medicine (e.g., navigating social location, strategies for addressing health disparities, humanizing communication, trauma-informed care, the role of physicians as advocates and agents of change).
The program is built on a base leadership model that was developed specifically for Stritch medical students by our own ODEI faculty and staff experts. Further informed by the Association of American Medical College's DEI Competencies, which were released for the first time by the AAMC in 2022, the 4-year curriculum of the CRCL certificate is designed to prepare an emerging generation of medical professionals with the capacity to care, teach, learn, and lead in our diverse and ever-evolving, global society.
