LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Identify opportunities beyond the clinical setting where physicians can shape public understanding of medicine: including media, storytelling, and community engagement, and articulate why physician presence in those spaces matters.
- Recognize the influence of medical storytelling in popular media and describe how clinician advisors can improve accuracy, reduce harmful stereotypes, and build public trust in healthcare.
- Apply a community-centered lens to physician leadership by examining how engagement initiatives, such as pipeline programs for underserved students and mentorship of physicians of color can contribute to a more equitable and representative medical workforce.
- Develop a personal framework for amplifying your voice as a physician, whether through media consultation, community partnership, creative production, or institutional advocacy, drawing on Dr. Owusu-Ansah's multi-platform career as a model.
