Association of University Anesthesiologists 2022 Annual Meeting
AUA: LAB Panel I: Developing the Academic Anesthesiologists of the Future Enduring CME Link: https://cme.openanesthesia360.org/a/CAFAXQ Academic anesthesiology is at a crossroads and in need of effective approaches to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion within the specialty, while providing support for all trainees and faculty as they navigate an increasingly complex environment. Each of the proposed speakers has promoted excellence and personal growth in academic anesthesiology by implementing programs at the department, institution, and national level, aimed at increasing diversity and inclusion (MW & OE), facilitating more effective mentoring relationships (SM), and providing internal coaching engagements for early-career faculty members (HH). The session will focus on supporting literature, practical advice for implementing similar programs, and evidence of impact. Diversity Curriculum for Residents:

AUA Leadership Advisory Board Panel II: Critical Race Theory Applied to Medicine & Anesthesiology Enduring CME Link: https://cme.openanesthesia360.org/a/ZIQTIZ The term Critical Race Theory (CRT) has become a frequently discussed topic across all forms of media. There is a good deal of confusion over what CRT means, as well as its relationship to other terms, like “anti-racism” and “social justice,” with which it is often intermingled. The purpose of this panel is to define CRT, review its history, and demonstrate how it can be applied to medicine and anesthesiology in the US. There is intersectionality between the origins of CRT and identifying why, despite efforts to improve disparities in healthcare, medical education, and anesthetic care, progress has been challenging.

AUA: Growing Anesthesiology Research – From Career Development to Independent Funding Enduring CME Link: https://cme.openanesthesia360.org/a/KTLSIO Member Submitted Programming I This session will present experiences and perspectives from four early- and mid-career clinician- scientists on the topic of transitioning from career-development (K-type) to independent (R- type) research funding. One established investigator and senior mentor will moderate this session. They will discuss opportunities and pitfalls for academic anesthesiology programs trying to develop a sustained pipeline of federally funded research in their departments. Specifically, panel members will discuss how a transition from a career development award to independent federal funding can be best achieved and which institutional and departmental support is critical in the process.

Early-career faculty members must develop their academic focus in education, research, or clinical practice while simultaneously becoming effective clinicians and clinical educators. The challenges are often greater for individuals from groups underrepresented in medicine, especially when they have intersectional identities. In this session, presenters will provide practical approaches that have been effective at their institution for reducing barriers and increasing satisfaction and success, including implementation of a diversity curriculum, facilitating more effective mentoring relationships, and providing coaching opportunities. After participating in this activity, the learner will be able to:
Advocate for and describe the key components of a diversity curriculum.
Discuss successful strategies and pitfalls in initiating and maintaining high-impact mentoring relationships.
Recognize the value of coaching in increasing clarity and ability to navigate obstacles, the academic system, and set goals in their career.
