A workshop and community empowering physicians
and trainees to navigate inequity in medicine.
Helping Physicians of Color Thrive Not Just Survive.
Welcome to Thriving in the Last Mile!
People of color physicians face a unique set of challenges in creating successful careers in medicine. The Thriving in the Last Mile (TILM) workshop series addresses these challenges by providing tools, resources and a network to help physicians of color, and Black physicians in particular, navigate toxic or discriminatory work environments.
This FREE 75-min workshop will feature resources, guided prompts, and speakers with lived experience to provide attendees with the tools to not just survive in medicine, but to ultimately thrive.
OUR AUDIENCE, COMMUNITY, AND OFFERINGS
We work with people of color trainees and attending physicians (DOs or MDs), especially those who are early in their careers. We believe knowing how to navigate discriminatory workplaces can have a major impact on a one’s career trajectory at any stage of your career, and especially early on.
As part of this FREE workshop, all attendees will receive:
· A mailed resource kit — including an exercise worksheet and a brochure exploring alternative career pathways in medicine.
· Access to the Thriving Network — a curated community of peers and mentors offering ongoing guidance and support.
· Invitations to exclusive gatherings — where Thriving in the Last Mile faculty share their experiences navigating the healthcare landscape.
