2024 ADEA Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Workshop
Equity in Action: Dismantling Injustice and Promoting Social Justice in Academic Dentistry
Don’t miss the 2024 ADEA Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (ADEA DEIB) Workshop, Equity in Action: Dismantling Injustice and Promoting Social Justice in Academic Dentistry on Oct. 23 in Coronado, CA. The ADEA Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Workshop equips dental education professionals—administrators, faculty, staff, residents, fellows and students—with tools and strategies to foster access, diversity, inclusion, belonging, equity, and well-being, promoting a humanistic environment in academic dentistry and society.
This one-day symposium offers networking and learning opportunities to help participants understand the diversity-related Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) standards and develop mission-driven inclusion initiatives. The small group workshop format encourages quality discussions, collaborative planning and idea exchange. This immersive experience fosters meaningful connections and practical takeaways that participants can implement in their own institutions. By actively engaging in the DEIB Workshop, attendees can drive positive change and cultivate an inclusive culture in academic dentistry.
According to CODA Standard 1-4, a dental school must have policies and practices to:
- Achieve appropriate levels of diversity among its students, faculty and staff;
- Engage in ongoing systematic and focused efforts to attract and retain students, faculty and staff from diverse backgrounds; and
- Systematically evaluate comprehensive strategies to improve the institutional climate for diversity.
According to CODA Standard 1-2, a dental hygiene program must have a stated commitment to a humanistic culture and learning environment that is regularly evaluated.
Consistent with the above CODA standards, the 2024 ADEA DEIB Workshop will focus on equipping participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to address systemic inequities within the field of academic dentistry. Through interactive sessions and discussions, attendees will explore the historical and current impacts of injustice on marginalized communities and learn strategies to foster inclusivity and equity.
The workshop will focus on enhancing cultural competency, identifying and dismantling systemic barriers, and developing leadership skills for advocacy. Participants will engage in hands-on activities to design actionable plans that promote social justice within their institutions. By the end of the workshop, attendees will be empowered to champion equity and create lasting change in academic dentistry.
