Dr. Ricardo Correa, an endocrinology physician in ACP Arizona chapter, Chair-Elect Designee of the ACP Council of Early Career Physicians, and Associate Editor of SGIM Forum, and Dr. Priya Radhakrishnan, Chief Academic Officer/Vice President of Health Equity at HonorHealth, governor of ACP Arizona , and Governor-Elect Designee of the ACP Board of Governors, reflect on the topic of a previous episode of The DEI Shift: the minority tax (Season 2, Episode 1) and its relevance for generalist physicians and trainees. Key messages: The gratitude tax is a feeling of obligation that underrepresented minorities in medicine (URMM) faculty have to an academic institution and to future generations of URMMs for being given the opportunity to be a physician. Academic leaders can provide appropriate incentives for academic faculty to participate in internal (e.g., committee) service to mitigate the minority tax and gratitude tax.Scholarly work can take a variety of forms and can be recognized to give voice to URMMs. Affinity groups can offer an opportunity to promote advocacy, advancement, and education towards diversifying the internal medicine pipeline.Learn more at thedeishift.com.Follow us on Twitter and share why you are #ProudToBeGIM.

Dr. Elisa Choi, ACP MA governor and Chair-Elect of the ACP Board of Governors, and Dr. Carole Vincent, general internal medicine specialist and founding member of the ACP MA Chapter JEDI Committee, reflect on a previous episode of The DEI Shift, Anti-racism in Healthcare Education (Season 2, Episode 3). In the previous episode, The DEI Shift Senior Producers, Dr. Maggie Kozman and Dr. DJ Gaines, interviewed Dr. Ryan Mire, ACP President-Elect, about what anti-racism means in healthcare education and how to bring about needed change in our learning and work environments.Key messages: Being antiracist is being proactive against racism and racist ideas; in contrast, being non-racist is a passive stance.Beware of biological anchoring of medical concepts that lack an appropriate evidence base: race is a social construct, not a biological construct. Being antiracist as a general internal medicine specialist means to listen to the patient’s story without judgment or preconceived ideas or biases. Medical students and learners at all stages of general internal medicine specialty careers can be empowered and engaged in making change towards antiracism in medicine and healthcare education.Learn more at thedeishift.com.The conversation continues on Twitter with the #PTBGIM.

Dr. Erynn Beeson, an Internal Medicine resident at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) and a member of the Oregon chapter of ACP, and Dr. Ximena Levander, an assistant professor at OHSU and Addiction Medicine specialist, reflect on important topics from previous episodes of The DEI Shift, Health Policy and Advocacy (Season 3, Episode 7) and The Breadth of Addiction Medicine (Season 3, Episode 5).Key messages: Advocacy as a physician helps to alleviate daily stress or burnout by channeling frustration with the healthcare system into lasting change. Access to buprenorphine via telemedicine, houselessness, and social determinants of health are among many key policy issues relevant for the care of patients with addiction and substance use disorders.Engagement in professional organizations can provide physicians resources and updates on current health policies at the local, state, and national level.Learning scripts for advocacy, similar to learning scripts for patient communications, are small learnings that physicians and trainees can bring to their advocacy work. Connecting with community organizations can be an easy way to engage in local advocacy: as a physician, start by asking, “How can I help?”Learn more at thedeishift.com.The conversation continues on Twitter with the #PTBGIM.

Dr. Candace Sprott, a primary care general internal medicine physician in Southern California Region III Chapter of ACP, and Dr. Jasmine Smith, an assistant professor and hospitalist in Internal Medicine-Pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, reflect on a previous episode of The DEI Shift: the hidden curriculum (Season 1, Episode 9) and its relevance for generalist physicians and trainees. Previously, Co-hosts, Dr. Brittäne Parker and Dr. Quentin Youmans, talked with Dr. Smith about the hidden curriculum.Key messages: With the hidden curriculum, one language is used to discuss medicine, diseases, and research, and another is used to demonstrate your competence as a clinician. Nonverbal cues can be an important part of the latter, along with verbal cues.Acknowledging the positive aspects of the hidden curriculum, like empathy and reflection, and intentionally spreading these through mentorship can be educational, although these are not yet universally done.For trainees, be observant, ask questions, identify examples of practice and communication styles that are desirable for your own practice.For mentors, faculty, and educators, give trainees timely and helpful feedback to adjust behaviors if needed.Learn more at thedeishift.com.The conversation continues on Twitter with the #PTBGIM.
