Considering Culture and Conflict: A Novel Approach to Active Bystander Intervention

Date of Review: July, 2024

Medical students, residents, and faculty participated in a virtual active bystander intervention workshop and were then assessed on willingness to intervene in ten clinical scenarios following participation in the workshop. This workshop was facilitated by the department of psychiatry however I think can be used/ applied for other specialties. This was a strong partnership with the DEI Office at Stanford and had a high rate of participation. Participants showed a higher willingness to intervene in workplace mico-aggressions. I think one of the strengths of this curriculum was its applicability within the clinical setting. It gave participants concrete tools to use as bystanders. All of the materials for the workshop are made available to readers and easily accessible. I think although it’s virtual it can easily be made into an in person workshop. –Anna Marie Young, MD, NCEAS
