A diverse group of leading medical and healthcare associations has come together in support of DEI policies in the healthcare industry. Among these organizations are the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), American Medical Association (AMA), American Osteopathic Association (AOA), Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS), National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME), National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME), and the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).
These healthcare professionals, representing different specialties and backgrounds, have dedicated their careers to improving patient outcomes. They have worked tirelessly to provide physicians with the best tools and evidence to ensure that patients receive the highest quality care possible.
The focus on promoting DEI aims to address longstanding inequalities in the healthcare system that have had a significant impact on patient health and communities. Without a physician workforce that can care for patients holistically and without barriers to the profession, excellence in patient care cannot be achieved.
The organizations remain committed to enhancing inclusive excellence, working towards achieving the best outcomes for all members and patients served.
