Physician Diversity

"Racism permeates all sectors of our society. Health care is no exception." Read Dr. David Rosman’s full statement on racism, violence, and commitment to equity.

The Society is calling on members, and especially white allies, to look within, and to take strong action that supports radical, sustainable and transformative change to reduce racism and build more diverse, equitable, and inclusive environments.

Physicians interested in advocating for underrepresented, marginalized, and minority populations may join several committees and sections.
