Reimagining Medical Education: The Future of Health Equity and Social Justice, externally commissioned by the American Medical Association and part of the AMA MedEd Innovation Series, explores and addresses these ongoing issues. Using both theoretical and practical approaches, medical educators share a vision of medical education through a social justice lens. The resulting volume focuses on equity throughout medical education: improving the diversity of the student, faculty, and health workforce and ameliorating inequitable outcomes among minoritized and marginalized patient populations. This unique, change-oriented text.

- Provides a thought-provoking account of the negative impact of centuries of asymmetry of power
- Offers an aspirational vision of a just system for recruiting, training, and empowering the next generation of care providers and how to impact change at the individual, institutional, and population levels
- Covers both medical school (UME) and residency program (GME) implementation strategies
- Contains practical, visionary guidance for faculty, staff, students, administrators, and leaders in medical education
