LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
