We believe in the DFMCH that this concept applies to all systemic oppressions, and we know we have work to do. In the paraphrased words of Brene Brown, we are committed to getting it right, not to being right.
Our developmental path includes simultaneous and integrated components:
Individual work (self-learning and development)
Proximal work (how people interact in their local environments such as the program)
Structural and systemic (the larger administrative Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, Medical School)
The Department of Family Medicine and Community Health is a vast network of 8 residency programs serving urban, suburban, and rural populations across the state of Minnesota. Our department works with several healthcare systems such as Fairview, CentraCare, Essentia Health, North Memorial, and Park Nicollet HealthPartners.
Knowing we work across a complex system, we as JEDI residents strive to promote synergy and collaboration with our initiatives.
