Description
Inequities in health care and medical education have a long and complex history involving racism, sexism, ableism, exclusivity, and other forms of social injustice. Reimagining Medical Education: The Future of Health Equity and Social Justice, externally commissioned by the American Medical Association and part of the AMA MedEd Innovation Series, explores and addresses these ongoing issues. Using both theoretical and practical approaches, medical educators share a vision of medical education through a social justice lens. The resulting volume focuses on equity throughout medical education: improving the diversity of the student, faculty, and health workforce and ameliorating inequitable outcomes among minoritized and marginalized patient populations. This unique, change-oriented text.• From the theoretical to the practical, a diverse team of authors outline what an equitable future for medical education and health care can be. • A thought-provoking account of the negative impact of centuries of asymmetry of power. • As part of the AMA MedEd Innovations series, an aspirational vision of a just system for recruiting, training, and empowering the next generation of care providers and how to impact change at the individual, institutional, and population levels.
