This panel will engage our audience of SUO community in a conversation on how we can foster psychological safety and promote an inclusive culture throughout otolaryngology – head and neck surgery. Psychological safety empowers individuals to express their ideas and concerns, to speak up with questions, and to admit errors without fear of retribution. Creating psychological safety is foundational to resident education, academic growth, and equitable healthcare. The panelists will focus on the role of psychological safety in promoting impactful wellness initiatives (Mariel Watkins, M.D.), achieving gender equity (Robin Lindsay, M.D.), managing conflict (Nausheen Jamal, M.D.), and advancing patient safety and quality initiatives (Karthik Balakrishnan, M.D., M.P.H.). The session will incorporate vignettes to depict challenges and to introduce strategies for creating a psychologically safe work environment. In addition, the panelists will highlight factors that can promote or threaten inclusive culture, drawing on their own experiences and inviting the diverse insights, observations, and experiences of the audience.

This session will update the audience on the process that has been undertaken by the AAO-HNSF and OPDO for development of a standardized, unified curriculum to support Otolaryngology residents in training. We will describe the perceived benefits of this curriculum to all residency programs, regardless of other educational assets. We will introduce the platform and proposed design of the delivery of the curriculum and open up an interactive discussion for program directors and coordinators to give feedback about desires for delivery of the curriculum materials and assessment methods to best utilize this type of educational tool for their residency programs. We encourage participants to be ready for an interactive session to assist in optimizing the development of the curriculum as we prepare for a start date of July 2024. Finally, we will describe how this type of curriculum may be disseminated internationally to raise the standard of care for Otolaryngologic care throughout the world.
