Restorative Justice for Academic Medicine (RJAM): Using RJ to Respond to Mistreatment and Bias (Tier II) - November 21, 2019

Join us for an introduction to restorative harm and misconduct by Sonoo Thadanay, who directs Stanford Presence and the Program in Bedside Medicine at Stanford School of Medicine, and Toni McMurphy, Restorative Trainer/Facilitator with the University of San Diego Center for Restorative Justice. 

David Acosta, AAMC Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer will host and moderate the webinar.

Tier II restorative conferences are a model for facilitated dialogues between harmed parties and people who have caused harm.  In this nonadversarial approach, the focus is not on investigation and sanctioning, but on allowing the harmed party to identify the impact of the offense and for a collaborative process for repairing harm and rebuilding trust.  Restorative conferences are now widely used in educational institutions with strong evidence of success.  Sonoo and Toni will describe their efforts to pilot restorative practices at Stanford and the Saint Louis College of Pharmacy.             

Note: Three tiers of practice will be described during the 4-part webinar series. 

• RJAM Webinar No. 4 will discuss Tier III Reintegration Circles, which provide community reassurance and social support for someone returning to the community after a period of separation.  Scheduled December 10^th @ 2pm EST.
