Medical School/Institution: Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine
Project Location/Site: Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine
Year: 2024
Key Outcomes:
-Medical students and residents recognize the impact of DEI events during medical training on their care of diverse patient populations.
-However there seems to be a decrease in interest in DEI activities on the residency level.
-Medical schools and residency programs must continue to more patient-focused DEI events throughout and beyond medical training.
-Trainees and faculty together must be involved in the planning and execution of DEI events to ensure maximum impact.
