    Register now for AAMC virtual event on addressing and eradicating racism in health care

    The AAMC is hosting a free virtual panel discussion on Sept. 7 at noon ET around the recent documentary The Color of Care, which chronicles how people of color suffer from systemically substandard health care in the United States. Moderated by AAMC Senior Director of Equity and Social Accountability Malika Fair, MD, MPH, the panel will include Nahae Kim, MPH, a medical student at Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, as well as featured individuals from the film, including Ala Stanford, MD; Hetty Cunningham, MD; and Keith Gambrell. The panelists will discuss how the academic medicine community is addressing and eradicating systemic racism in health care, lessons learned from the film, how medical education is changing and continuing to improve, and the AAMC's new medical education competencies on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Participants will have access to the film for two weeks prior to the event (further details will be provided upon registration). Advance registration is required as space is limited.
