Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Resources Page

For reaching all persons, no matter their background or who they are--whether as patients, learners, or family medicine workforce.

These resources express the REACH Committee’s aim to pull together current literature, tools and other information useful to departments in “…our broad aim to REACH all patients regardless of background or health conditions” and “…provide optimal learning and working environments for trainees, faculty and staff” (quotes from the REACH charge). These resources are for How to do the Reach and will evolve and improve over time.
Background

In the 2024 ADFM Annual Survey, 47% of department chairs who responded indicated that they had faculty interested in mentorship in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). In response to these findings, the ADFM REACH Committee (Representation, Engagement, Access, Community, and Health), formerly the DEI Committee, and the ADFM REACH Leaders and Chairs Group (formerly the DEI Leaders and Chairs Group) compiled the resources listed on this webpage.
