The Wise Build Bridges While the Foolish Build Barriers": Another Lesson From the Black Panther

The purpose of this workshop is to provide a toolbox of techniques for speaking up against bias and stereotypes in the workplace. Facilitators will provide ground rules for safety and an informal discussion on several techniques for speaking up. Participants will break out into small groups to role-play various common scenarios that have biases/stereotypes. Afterwards, groups, will reflect on these scenarios and how they impact the workplace. Participants will have opportunities to practice one or more of the techniques.

  • Cassandra Kim Bradby, MD

    President

    Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University

    I am a proud graduate of Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN. From there, the match brought me to SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn, NY, where I served as the chief resident of education. Since 2014, I have served as assistant professor of emergency medicine at Vidant Medical Center and East Carolina University and now serve as the residency program director after four years in the role of associate program director. I have been involved with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts throughout my seven years in North Carolina, as the vice chair for diversity and inclusion for my department, as well as the chair of the vice chairs for diversity and inclusion for East Carolina University (ECU) Brody School of Medicine. I also serve as the faculty advisor for the ECU chapter of the Student Medical Association and the chair of the GME Committee for Diversity and Inclusion at Vidant Medical Center. Through SAEM, I have been involved with the Membership Committee, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, the Academy for Women in Academic Emergency Medicine (AWAEM), and the Academy for Diversity and Inclusion in Emergency Medicine (ADIEM) as a member-at-large, faculty advisor for the Social Media Committee, and the current secretary-treasurer. I hope to continue to work with the ADIEM Executive Committee going forward to continue our momentum in creating education across emergency medicine on DEI and collaborating with other organizations."
