COMMUNITY GRAND ROUNDS
Format
How you learn shapes what you learn
What you learn shapes how you live your life
Community grand rounds is designed to fit different time blocks from 60 minutes to 2 hours. Longer timeframes allow for greater engagement and deeper discussions.
Regardless of timeframe, the overall format remains the same. There are three parts to each engagement:
Part 1 Opening: This involves first an acknowledgement of the original peoples on whose land we stand. Then we offer an exercise to bring everyone into the space followed by an introduction to the community experts.
Part 2 Video Testimony: This is a 15 to 18 minute video of stories of medical racism, trauma, and neglect. These stories have been collected from Tenderloin residents in spaces where each person could feel heard and their stories held with respect and compassion. Each video also contains insights from providers and other community members into the structures of oppression, the impact of these experiences, and questions about how change can happen.

Part 3 Dialogue and discussion: Community residents and healthcare participants enter into a facilitated conversation that moves our stories from testimony to engagement. In this portion of our work together, we enter the realm where deep personal reflection engenders visions for deep social and institutional change.
