Update on AAMC equity, diversity, and inclusion: 2021 and beyond

    The AAMC has renamed its Diversity Policy and Programs cluster, and it will now be called the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion cluster. This name more closely aligns with the work the AAMC has led over the last three years in the areas of anti-racism and racial justice, gender equity, equity advancement, and inclusion excellence. The change is also an example of the AAMC's commitment to the Framework for Addressing and Eliminating Racism at the AAMC, in Academic Medicine, and Beyond, and is in alignment with the new AAMC strategic plan. Moving forward, the cluster will be organized under three work units/portfolios: Equity and Social Accountability; Workforce Diversity; and Organizational Inclusion and Development.
