\"\"<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, February 14th<\/sup>, 2024, UNC Anesthesiology’s Wellness and DEI committees joined forces to promote a sense of “belonging” by bringing their “Table Talks” series to Grand Rounds. \u00a0The \u201cTable Talks\u201d model focuses on a diversity topic of interest and engages group discussion in a safe and open manner. Entitled “Workplace Diversity and Team Dynamics,” the February 14th Table Talks discussion featured a panel of UNC Anesthesiology faculty — Fei Chen, Samuel Blacker, Annika Webb, Caryn Hertz, Amy Goetzinger, Seema Patidar, and Skye Margolies — <\/em>with a range of expertise and experiences in healthcare. <\/em>At this session, the faculty panel introduced the potential benefits of a diverse workforce based upon a Freakonomics<\/em> podcast (and the related economics journal article) on the whaling industry as a prompt for discussion.<\/p>\n

\"\"The podcast and article suggested reasons why diversity may contribute to conflict and a decline before eventually leading to positive change and productivity. Data reviewed emphasized the potential benefits of a diverse healthcare team, including better health outcomes, academic productivity, innovation, and patient satisfaction, among others.<\/p>\n

Group discussion led to some key takeaways: 1) There is a lot of value in spending time together, investing in each other and getting to know our teammates. Growth and fast-paced work environments can be barriers to this goal; 2) Conflicts are normal. Making time to address them with respectful communication is essential; 3) If we are a diverse group, we may better connect with our patients in order to give them the best healthcare experience; and 4) There is great benefit to recruiting and maintaining diversity in our department.<\/p>\n

The Wellness and DEI committees encourage the UNC School of Medicine community to join the conversation at one of their co-hosted future Table Talks discussions. \u00a0Topics may be suggested by emailing the department\u2019s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Liaison Skye Margolies,<\/strong> PhD<\/strong> — skye_margolies@med.unc.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n
