Message from the Associate Dean - BCH Oakland
November 2021
| |
|
Giving Thanks
Children’s hospitals and pediatric offices across the nation are gearing up to vaccinate the 5- to 11-year-old group of children against Sars-COV2. The CDC prepares its final recommendation this week. Since the start of the pandemic, there have been 6 million infections in children and regionally this group has the highest rate of any other pediatric age group. Vaccine hesitancy is an issue that the Academy of Pediatrics is addressing with an AAP FAQ.
Wireless communication by pager and phones are upgrading and modernizing next month. Spok Mobile implementation is scheduled for December and will involve some pager number and potentially device changes. Stay tuned to BCH Global for more information over the coming weeks.
Congratulations to BCH Oakland Graduate Medical Education for a rewarding and insightful virtual ACGME CLER (Clinical Learning Environment Review) visit: One thing that came out of the process was to remind us all to cultivate a healthy learning environment. As adult learners, trainees are encouraged to ask for support and help. No question is too small. All faculty are reminded to be respectful, responsive, and supportive educators in our learning health system.
In November we give thanks and as we do that we reflect on our PRIDE values. We recognize the good in our lives. Please take a moment every day to do just that. If you would like to provide an everyday recognition of an employee or colleague you can do that here the new BCH recognition platform. I recognize all of you for your commitment to BCH Oakland.
Respectfully,
Kelley

Updated UCSF Event Policy | |
|
Updated October 25, 2021
Guidance on Hosting Meetings and Events
UCSF adheres to the San Francisco Department of Public Health COVID-19 health requirements, and, in some instances, our requirements are more stringent given our unique role as an academic, medical, and research enterprise. Our top priority is to ensure the safety of the UCSF community and our patients. Any event plan is conditional on current health orders.

As a reminder, you are highly encouraged to take the UCSF Climate Survey as soon as possible and distribute this message widely within your networks. Please note that the invitation email will come from Emma White: Your invitation to the UCSF 2021 Climate Survey.
Note from Vice Chancellor Renee Navarro:
One of the key goals at UCSF is to ensure that people in our university community feel empowered and valued in an environment that fosters diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The Chancellor’s leadership team continues to work on multiple fronts to create a culture in which faculty, staff, and learners from all backgrounds feel welcomed, supported, and respected.
To better understand how we are doing in this regard, we invite you to share your perspectives and experiences about the environment in which you work and learn through the UCSF Climate Survey. On Monday, October 11, you will receive an email with a unique link to the confidential survey, which closes November 30.
Please complete this survey to help us build upon and enrich our diverse culture. Your feedback will help us develop action plans to strengthen our community. Your opinions matter and have already led to changes that have improved UCSF. You can read more about the survey in this campus news story.

The focus of the BCH Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Initiative is to dismantle systemic racism within BCH by taking action to insure that policies, institutional practices, cultural representations and other norms no longer reinforce and perpetuate racial group inequity for Blacks, Indigenous and People of Color. Patients and families and other groups in the workforce, including LGBTQ+ are negatively impacted within the current problematic climate. For more information, please feel free to reach out to me, our program manager Henry Ocampo at henry.ocampo@ucsf.edu, or visit our website https://diversitybch.ucsf.edu/.

DEI/AR Council – Name Change | |
|
In our recent discussion with visiting UCSF Presidential Chair award recipient, Dr. Camara Jones we were encouraged to ensure that our unified goal of being an anti-racist institution was reflected in more than just our strategies, goals, and tactics, but even in our council’s name. To that end, we are delighted to announce our official council name change to BCH Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism Council (BCH DEI/AR).
DEI/AR Council Membership Drive!
Make a positive impact and join the BCH DEI/AR Council. Applications for new members are now open. Click for the application.
