URM Oversight Committee

An interprofessional URM Oversight Committee has been convened to guide the progress of the Underrepresented in Medicine Initiative work. The four Work Groups lead the development of strategies and measures for their Focus Area, while the entire Oversight Committee monitors the progress of the work and communicates with STFM members and the STFM Foundation about the work being done.
