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, part of the American Medical Association's 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 . . . Shares knowledge and insight from a diverse team of authors who outline what an equitable future for medical education and health care can be. Provides a thought-provoking account of the negative impact of centuries of asymmetry of power. Offers 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. Covers both medical school (UME) and residency program (GME) implementation strategies. Contains practical, visionary guidance for faculty, staff, students, administrators, and leaders in medical education. An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
