SUMMARY:CBSN Career Chats: Planning a Pathway to Leadership
DESCRIPTION:CBSN Members are invited to join this first Career Chat of 2024 \nWednesday January 10\, 4pm ET \nTopic: Planning a Pathway to Leadership\nwith Professor Maydianne Andrade\, PhD\, FRCGS\nMany people in STEMM describe how they ‘ended up’ in leadership roles despite not having any training to prepare them to be a good leader. However\, deconstructing the career paths of successful leaders often reveals commonalities in the acquisition of skills and knowledge that reflect the literature on leadership development across sectors (business\, academia\, government). Join Professor Maydianne Andrade for an overview of ways to think about paving your own path to leadership\, including a broad consideration of acquiring and demonstrating leadership competencies\, tips on the ‘nitty gritty’ of the day-to-day approaches of an effective leader\, and the realities of Leading While Black (where the challenges are made abundantly clear by the recent treatment of former Harvard president Claudine Gay). \nLeadership takes many different forms and manifests at different scales\, so everyone can benefit from understanding the ‘unwritten rules’ for success. Whether you know you are interested in leadership\, or whether you would just like to keep your options open\, fee free to join this conversation! \nWant to prepare for this session?  Consider downloading and completing this leadership self-assessment for your own personal consideration. \nThis questionnaire asks you to rate yourself on 20 different questions on a scale of 1 to 5 and provides some insight into your interests\, strengths and areas for improvement if you are interested in a leadership role. \n  \nPlease contact the CBSN Project Administrator if you are a member looking for the registration link\, or sign into the CBSN ‘connections’ channel on Slack  \nRegister once and we will remind you each month. \nWatch the calendar for future session topic announcements! \n\nSeptember 13.

SUMMARY:BE-STEMM Seminar: Charting the Path: Assessing the Impact of Midwifery Services at an Urban Community Health Centre
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our first seminar of 2024. \nJanuary 17\, 4pm ET \nPhylicia Crichlow\nResearch Analyst at Black Health Equity Lab \n  \nBio: \nPhylicia Crichlow earned her Master’s in Social Work with a specialization in Mental Health and Health from the University of Toronto. She is a Social Worker\, Health Equity Advocate\, and Community-Based Researcher. She is a Research Analyst with the Black Health Equity Lab\, housed at the University of Toronto Scarborough\, a social science research lab that works with and for Black communities. Here\, Phylicia is a qualitative researcher that supports projects focused on analyzing the experiences of Black communities within Canadian systems. Phylicia is passionate about using research as an advocacy tool to build racially and culturally attuned programming that provides an intersectional and responsive approach to address the social determinants of health. Her aim is to challenge health inequities\, transgenerational trauma\, anti-Black racism\, and its impacts through her work in research\, mental health counselling\, and community development. \nCharting the Path: Assessing the Impact of Midwifery Services at an Urban Community Health Centre\nDespite the lack of Black maternal health data in Canada\, studies have shown that 8.9 per cent of Black women experience pre-term births\, compared to 5.9 per cent of their White counterparts (McKinnon et al.\, 2016). In collaboration with The Midwives’ Clinic of East York in 2017\, Women’s Health in Women’s Hands Community Health Centre introduced midwifery care to address the healthcare needs of racialized and predominantly uninsured women and trans individuals in the Greater Toronto Area. The Mentored Midwifery Research study is an evaluation of the prenatal\, intrapartum\, and postpartum care of the midwifery services at an urban community health centre\, including a retrospective chart review and a qualitative analysis of client experiences. This research aims to monitor ongoing program success while advancing midwifery services and the development of maternal and reproductive health policies\, ultimately enhancing access and quality of care for equity-seeking groups. \nReferences \nMcKinnon\, B.\, Yang\, S.\, Kramer\, M.
