The Teach for UCSF Certificate in Teaching for Equity and Inclusion aims to create a path for UCSF educators to develop best practices in equitable and inclusive teaching that they can apply in didactic and clinical settings across the continuum of health professions education. This certification consists of 1 pre-requisite, 7 required workshops and one selective. Participants demonstrate skills learned by completing assessment exercises during the workshops.

Goal

To advance faculty members’ skills to ensure an equitable and inclusive teaching and learning environment.

Overall Objectives

Upon completion of the certificate a participant will be able to:

  • Select and design inclusive instructional materials that represent diverse perspectives.
  • Monitor diversity in the representation of participants in the teaching and learning environment.
  • Develop assessments that minimize the potential for bias.
  • Recognize and examine biases that arise in assessment decisions.
  • Diagnose learners’ diverse needs and design relevant instructional activities.
  • Address bias and microaggressions in the learning environment in the moment.
  • Explore instructors’/mentors’ differences and similarities with learners/mentees to improve engagement and support.
  • Provide feedback that is sensitive to learners’ different backgrounds and experience.
