How do you see yourself? How does the world see you? How does your position influence how you’re viewed in different settings? Are you ever misidentified or stereotyped and how do you deal with that?
Please join Dr. Henry Young and the College of Medicine Office of Diversity and Inclusion for Personal and Professional Identity with Dr. Ray Bignall on Thursday, November 7th at 4:30. We will hear from Dr. Bignall on navigating identity and personal presentation followed by a Q&A and mingling with your fellow students.
Light refreshments will be served.
The event is open to all College of Medicine students — from the MD program to HRS to our research programs and more!
