Underrepresented in Medicine Initiative

Our hosts, Tochi Iroku-Malize, MD, MPH, MBA, and Omari Hodge, MD, FAAFP, were joined by Viviana Martinez-Bianchi, MD, FAAFP, a leader in health equity and global health, to discuss how program directors can prepare residents and students for a potential academic career. We shared about the importance of an inviting, safe environment that's inviting for historically excluded learners and creates a mentorship space for them to see themselves as leaders and future faculty members.
