Stepping In 4 Respect

Stepping In 4 Respect is a multi-institution collaboration led by the University of Virginia called “Stepping In: Creating a Culture of Respect and Inclusion.” The Stepping In 4 Respect workshops are led by trained Department of Medicine Faculty and Staff.

This component of our civility efforts is designed to be an interactive skills-based education workshop designed to provide faculty, staff and trainees a framework on how to respond to difficult scenarios that reflect disrespect and discrimination. Participants are taught the skills needed to step in (be an “upstander”) in the moment, with a particular focus on race-, ethnicity- and gender-based incidents. Participation in the Stepping In 4 Respect workshops is part of an IRB-approved prospective quality improvement study to assess change in attitudes and behaviors toward discrimination and harassment in the work and learning environment.

For more information about scheduling a workshop, please contact Pamela Williams.
