Virtual quarterly series aims to reimagine a medical education system that promotes diversity, inclusion and belonging in wake of Supreme Court affirmative action ruling
The upcoming session of the National Health Equity Grand Rounds, a virtual quarterly series intended to shape national engagement and discourse on health inequity, will focus on the future of inclusion and diversity in medical education following the landmark Supreme Court ruling undermining affirmative action policies in higher education.
National thought leaders will discuss the educational value of inclusion and diversity in medical education and outline workable strategies in the current legal landscape for addressing the long-standing underrepresentation of historically excluded populations in health care professions.
