Increasing Gift Processing Capacity by Moving to Paperless

Transitioning your gift processing to a centralized paperless process can increase your team’s capacity while also helping you assess the progress of each gift more quickly and evaluate your overall goals more accurately, saving your shop both time and money. However, getting campus stakeholders on-board to make this change requires a strategy that provides evidence of how a paperless approach to gift processing can be beneficial to your institution, as well as to your relationships with your donors. Join us to hear how the University of Utah recently made the move to a paperless process. You’ll walk away with tips for how to gather and communicate relevant data to make a case to go paperless, as well as how to achieve engagement and buy-in with your more important stakeholders. If you’re looking for ways to make your gift processing more efficient, centralized, and transparent, this webcast is for you.

Enhancing Medical Education Curriculum to Mitigate Healthcare Disparities: A Case Study

In the wake of the grand jury decisions not to indict the officers responsible for the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown in 2014, students at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine led a coalition of medical schools in responding to calls for racial justice in healthcare. The School of Medicine made a multimillion-dollar commitment to fund a School of Medicine initiative called Differences Matter. This multi-year, multi-faceted initiative was designed to position UCSF as the most diverse, equitable, and inclusive academic medical system in the country. One of the six key goals of Difference Matters is a Curriculum Enhancement aimed to “cultivate the highest quality and most inclusive learning environment.” Join us for a one-hour webcast where we will explore how UCSF Medical School approached this curriculum enhancement with a specific eye toward mitigating healthcare disparities among patients. Our experts, Dr. Alejandra Rincón and Dr. Aimee Medeiros, will share an overview of the curriculum enhancement work being done by the Education Action Group of Differences Matter and how the five-year initiative produced the following changes: Incorporation of new content related to race and racism to enhance the medical curriculum Inclusion of anti-racist language into the seven MD programs’ competencies and milestones Enhancement of the existing mechanism to identify Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion content in the curriculum Development of a faculty training program to bolster their competencies around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion You will leave the webcast with ideas and strategies to effectively redesign medical education curriculum to promote inclusivity and equity in the healthcare space.
