Equity & Anti-Racism Action Plan: Health Equity Education

Engaging in equitable healthcare includes educating a workforce that understands, empathizes, and works to improve systems towards eliminating disparities in health outcomes. As such, health equity education is part of the University of Rochester Medical Center’s Equity and Anti-Racism Action Plan.

Working Towards Health Equity: Improving Population Health in Rochester

"Working Towards Health Equity" introduces learners to fundamental concepts of social determinants and health disparities and includes a comprehensive picture of the Rochester community. Learners at the University of Rochester are a vital part of the Rochester community with a critical opportunity to improve health equity. 

When improving health equity and disparities, we are all learners on a life-long journey. The term 'student' is used throughout the video to refer to learners at any educational level: undergraduate, medical student, resident, fellow, or life-long learner.
