Promoting Inclusive Learning Environments

Creating inclusive learning environments for our undergraduates is vital to reduce any barriers or disadvantages that may impede student learning experiences and progression.

This interactive three-hour session, developed by the MB ChB EDI Committee, focuses on how we can create inclusive learning environments that support positive student experiences and outcomes across a diverse undergraduate cohort. The session explores what constitutes a learning environment and our role to embed effective Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) practices so students feel safe, supported, and able to learn.

Participants will gain practical strategies to plan inclusive placements, respond to challenges such as micro-aggressions, and promote positive behaviours and cultural change within clinical teams and organisations, in line with professional and regulatory expectations.

This session will aim to support undergraduate supervisors to:

  • Understand the context and importance of inclusive learning environments
  • Explain key Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) concepts and terminology
  • Gain insight into how EDI is embedded within the MB ChB curriculum, in particular, the Year 3 Active Bystander training
  • Identify individual actions to support students, implement solutions, and positively influence personal and team behaviours

There are 3 CPD points for this workshop applied for through the Royal College of Physicians.
