Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Task Force
The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Task Force shall explore and recommend strategies and policies to increase the diversity within the Academic Consortium and member institutions, eradicate social inequities within healthcare, and foster great inclusion within the organization and academic medicine.
