Dealing With Conflict In a Lab or On a Team

This session gives faculty a straightforward, evidence-informed approach to
recognizing conflict early, addressing it before it escalates, and creating a culture
where difficult conversations can happen without damaging work
relationships. Through real examples from academic medicine, participants will
explore practical tools they can bring back to their labs, teams, and collaborative
projects.
