Manage episode 431637554 series 78980
Dr. Julie Silver is an associate professor and associate chairperson in the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School
PART 2
In Part 2, Dr. Silver began by indicating that thinking about belonging and social integration are super important. There are two bodies of literature--a retention literature and a belonging literature. Very few studies have looked at them together. One investigation that did so found that women who have fewer belonging components are more likely to leave their workplace and more likely to stay if they have more of these components. What can be done right now to improve the situation? Her answer is that individuals should be told that they belong. Inclusion is not a synonym of belonging. She provided examples of constructive steps that have been implemented at other academic institutions. Mentoring is a critically important model. She described how she works with individuals in helping them to feel that they belong and indicated five strategies that leaders can implement. Let’s not assume that progress happens. Instead, let’s believe the science and follow the data. When looking at the proportion of women on specialty boards, they found in a comparison study that six boards decreased and that two stayed the same. Progress does not just happen on its own. In PM&R, there was an increase, but it still is not really at the equitable level. We must continue to focus on it. The same holds true when looking at race and ethnicity.
