Message from the Associate Dean - BCH Oakland

August 2023

Happy Summer!


I have been thinking about what would improve morale. We all want to do something collectively, but the truth is most of us are long overdue for true vacations with friends and family and it looks like many are taking time.  I have been working on my own perspective. To be honest, the fact that this little swell of COVID-positive cases and the uptick in the wastewater is a little re-traumatizing. I honestly want to have a little amnesia about what we just went through. Forgetting is not healing but integrating the emotions can be helpful.  I was out to dinner with some healthcare leaders from various local and statewide systems and we talked about a way to integrate what has happened over the last three years with stories, poetry, art, and just sharing. I invite you to submit via email any writings, old emails, or creative images that you would be okay with us sharing in a newsletter. The prompt is: “What I remember of the pandemic…”


You may or may not have masked faces, but you definitely have healing hands. It is regulatory season. So, wash them! Model good hand hygiene for your teams.


Being in a state of flow is critical for our healthcare delivery systems. Getting our patients to flow through our system is key. Getting your scholarly and educational programs to flow through the various processes is crucial. Look at our series of “All Faculty” webinars and “Faculty Seminars” that our office is hosting monthly to assist with your work. The old ones are hosted on our ever-improving website. The quarterly BCH Oakland All-Faculty Meeting is next Thursday, August 17th at 5:00 PM. The goal is to provide faculty with programmatic updates in education. The all-faculty meetings and seminar recordings are hosted on our website for those who are unable to attend.

Be well,

Kelley

Release of the UCSF Changemaker Series

The UCSF Changemaker Series, created by Professor of Medicine Hilary Seligman, MD, MAS, is a four-part video series that seeks to build the capacity of UCSF researchers to generate scientific evidence that is responsive to the needs of real-world decision-makers. Each 10-15 minute video highlights a UCSF researcher in conversation with an interdisciplinary panel of non-academic experts discussing how investigators at all stages of their careers can more meaningfully inform policies, systems, and structures in order to create social or policy change.

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.
