Remember to join us for the DEI Committee's month-long CLEAR Initiative through the month of April. The CLEAR Initiative is a continuous education effort to promote systemic equity in healthcare and the health sciences. Through this initiative, we hope that you can further your learning and leverage resources to make changes at your institutions through improving equity curricula and amending policy. The CLEAR Initiative features resources of varying lengths and activities. If you haven't joined our initiative, you can visit our website.
For week 2, we recommend starting with the following resources:
