Town Hall: Recommendations on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in HSR

In early 2021, AcademyHealth announced the formation of a 20-member expert advisory group to provide guidance and strategic insights on the ways AcademyHealth could apply a racial equity lens to the organization’s programs and activities. In a fast-track convening process, the advisory group developed a report to the AcademyHealth Board of Directors that was presented in June 2021. Moderated by Margo Edmunds, Ph.D., panelists Alyce S. Adams, Ph.D., Eduardo Sanchez, M.D., M.P.H., FAAFP, Abdul Shaikh, Ph.D., M.H.Sc., and Dorcas Lind, M.P.H. presented and discussed the group’s recommendations in this town hall session at the 2021 Annual Research Meeting.
