The Alliance of Independent Academic Medical Centers’ (AIAMC) National Initiative VIII focuses on Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI). These are more than just words, more than ideals, and more than the attainment of a particular quantifiable goal. They embody the realization of difference and of inequity and understanding of power and privilege. Inclusion is at the foundation of effective interdisciplinary care and, with diversity, core to excellence.
As an NI VIII participant we are piloting microaggression training for medical students, residents and faculty - initially focused on patients as the source.
