Health Equity in Academic Medicine: Recommendations From an AAMC Community Roundtable in Washington, D.C.
Description: The AAMC hosted a two-day Community Roundtable in 2020 with eight academic medical institutions, DC Health, and six community organizations in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. This report details participants’ descriptions of several promising practices, critical challenges, and points for future collaboration among the academic medicine community and local organizations addressing health inequities in the region. Synthesizing the findings across all sessions resulted in four recommendations for medical schools, teaching hospitals, and residency programs wanting to deepen and integrate their health equity work.
