A group of leading health care and medical associations has come together to advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in the healthcare system. This includes organizations such as the ACCME, ACGME, ABMS, AMA, AOA, AAMC, CMSS, NBME, NBOME, and NRMP.
The coalition’s unified statement highlights the importance of addressing systemic inequities in the healthcare system to improve patient outcomes across the nation. By prioritizing inclusive excellence, these organizations are committed to driving positive outcomes for both their members and the patients they serve.
The longstanding disparities within the healthcare system must be addressed in order to create a more inclusive and accessible profession that better serves the needs of all individuals. The coalition emphasizes the critical role that physicians play in shaping the health and well-being of communities and advocates for DEI initiatives to ensure that physicians from diverse backgrounds are equipped with the tools and resources necessary to provide high-quality care to all patients.
By coming together to support DEI policies in healthcare, these leading health care and medical associations are taking a proactive stance in addressing existing challenges and inequalities within the profession. Through their collective efforts, they hope to pave the way for a more equitable and accessible healthcare system that benefits all individuals.
