Mount Sinai Chats for Change

Each season we introduce new topics that are designed to spark critical dialogue and generate deeper understanding and insight. We invite all staff, faculty, trainees, students and others within the Mount Sinai Health System to join us and engage in dialogue so that we can work towards a deeper understanding and contribute our best thinking, knowing that other peoples’ reflections help to improve our thinking rather than impair it, revealing assumptions and biases for self-evaluation.

We are proud to announce the new Chats for Change schedule for January through May 2025.

This season we have partnered with students to continue our dialogues about relevant topics. Join us to:

• Explore religious-based oppression and appreciate that we have much more in common than what separates us.
• Uncover the unique healthcare challenges faced by refugee-immigrant communities and explore innovative strategies to bridge the gap.
• Discuss the complex challenges faced by healthcare systems in conflict zones.
• Take a look at the relationship between climate change and environmental racism
• Explore imposter syndrome and embrace self-doubt to drive social change
• Identify barriers to care and health concerns that are unique to the experiences of transgender and gender diverse youth.
