Our interprofessional team is delighted to invite the George Fox community to a virtual presentation: “Get Cultured! Decolonizing and Decentering Whiteness in the Healthcare Workforce.” It is 100% designed, developed and delivered by healthcare professionals who identify with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities.
This event, scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on March 11-12, is for everyone, and if you identify as white, this is a special opportunity to listen and learn. We will learn about ways to decolonize and decenter whiteness in our workforce, dynamic sizing, and other methods to improve our clinical care.
Additionally, this CME will focus on two important clinical topics: persistent pain and chronic disease.
This is a soulful opportunity to hear and deeply reflect on the voices and lived experiences of our BIPOC-identifying colleagues. For more information and to register, go here. It is free to George Fox employees and students.

We are looking to conceptualize a new course/experience that will serve as an onramp for a vertically integrated projects program. A vertically integrated program at Fox would be similar to our honors program in having its own course package, and would have students on teams comprised of different majors/years.
These students would be researching/designing in pursuit of solving some “wicked problem” over their time at Fox. “Wicked problems” can be generalized to large problems with no single stakeholder and no single solution.
In this survey we are seeking input regarding what potential learning objectives would be necessary for the program at large, as well as what is important to consider in the structuring of an onboarding/introductory experience.
Thanks for your participation! Contact Luke Roderick at lroderick20@georgefox.edu for more information.
