Equity, Quality, and Inclusion in Trauma Surgery Practice
Find resources below regarding Equity, Quality & Inclusion in Trauma Practice developed by the Equity, Quality & Inclusion in Trauma Surgery Practice Committee, which has been charged with investigating ways to enhance awareness and provide education regarding the prevalence and character of inequity in the trauma surgery profession. While inequity experienced by patients is also a significant issue, this task force focuses on equity for medical students, surgical trainees and trauma surgeons.
The work of the committee is conducted within four work groups: Assessment and Research, Education, Guidelines and Processes, and Membership Dialogue and Collaboration. To learn more, visit the Equity, Quality & Inclusion in Trauma Surgery Practice Committee page and read the article below.
