Underrepresented in Medicine Initiative

Danielle Jones, PhD, MPH, and Ashley Bentley, MBA, CAE, from the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) speak with our hosts about the critical topics of implicit bias, microaggressions, and the hidden curriculum of medical school. These issues influence the learning experience and specialty choice for many medical students and residents. Allyship is key as is support for training on the existing implicit bias in the academic setting. Our guests provide some wonderful tools and tips for knowing when and how to address these issues within professional environments. Allies are given practical ways to proactively address implicit bias and microaggressions within their institutions. 

Hosted by Tochi Iroku-Malize, MD, MPH, MBA and Omari Hodge, MD, FAAFP
