Providing Tools to Build a Culture of Trust and Respect in Health Sciences

Piloted in 2020, the
Building a Respectful, Inclusive Culture (BRIC) program helps faculty build a teaching and training environment that is free of harassment and discrimination to allow learners and trainees to thrive, which is a critical mission of the Health Sciences at UC San Diego.
The curriculum provides key faculty mentors and researchers with the tools they need to build a culture of trust and respect directly into the work units they manage. Offered in short digestible blocks of time with synchronous and asynchronous learning, the BRIC program consists of 3 modules:-
Module 1: Developing Ourselves and Empowering Others
- Module 2: Foundations of Respectful Workplace Communication and Managing Conflict
-
Module 3: Building and Leading Effective Teams in the Workplace
Each live session will be preceded by self-directed work on concepts so that group sessions can emphasize experiential learning.
Through core didactics, discussions of relevant case studies, and facilitated breakout discussions, the three-module series will explore six domains deemed essential in the toolbox of faculty engaged in building safe and healthy academic environments, including:
- Self-awareness
- Self-management
- Empathy
- Collaborative communication
- Managing conflict
- Teamwork
The three-module series will be offered in both Fall 2023 and Spring 2024. To accommodate faculty schedules, we offer multiple sessions on different dates and times for each module.Module | Fall 2023 | Spring 2024 |
