Academic Medicine Open Forum

The Lancet Commission on Medicine and the Holocaust, established on January 27, 2021 - International Holocaust Remembrance Day - has urged the development of "educational approaches using this history to promote ethical conduct, compassionate identity formation, and moral development." In advance of Holocaust Remembrance Day 2022, next month, we encourage you to begin examining resources that might be used in teaching or in other discussions. 

In her memoir, Dr. Regina Kessler-member of the second class of women ever admitted to Harvard Medical School-recounts her journey from Poland, to a Soviet labor camp, to America. 

Grit: A Pediatrician's Odyssey from a Soviet Camp to Harvard 

Mark your calendars for next month (Jan. 27 at 12 p.m. ET), when the AAMC will host a virtual seminar, "Legacy of Medicine During the Holocaust and its Contemporary Relevance" with Drs. @Hedy Wald and @Sabine Hildebrandt. This seminar will catalyze critical thinking on the relevance of the Holocaust for contemporary medicine and help health care trainees and professionals reflect on their core values in the service of humanistic and ethically responsible patient care.

Please join us and consider offering a post-seminar discussion or other activity at your institution to extend the learning. Drs. Wald and Hildebrand have created three options for suggested one-hour reflection activities, complete with slides and a faculty guide for your use.
