Building Trust through Diversity, Health Care Equity, & Inclusion in Internal Medicine Training

The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), the ABIM Foundation, the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine (AAIM), the American College of Physicians (ACP) and the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation are focused on improving the trustworthiness of the health care system and advancing health equity.

As part of this focus, the organizations are co-sponsoring a $400,000 grant program to support projects that are (a) led by individuals or groups of residents and faculty in internal medicine education and training and (b) intended to promote trust and create a more equitable health system by incorporating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) into the fabric of internal medicine education and training. Inter-professional projects that incorporate members from across the care team will be preferred. All project teams must include at least one faculty member.
