In August, the MMA sponsored and attended a national conference on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare in Washington D.C. The Mayo Clinic-hosted RISE for Equity: Reflect, Inspire, Strengthen and Empower, took place August 1-3, and included hundreds of healthcare professionals. The conference covered topics such as using data and digital tools to advance belonging, systematically addressing social drivers of health, restorative justice, disparities in LGBTQ+ health, AI as an equity accelerant, and many more. Thank you to Haley Brickner, MMA's health equity coordinator, for staffing the MMA booth! #HealthEquity #EquityInHealthcare #HealthcareConference

The Minnesota Health Equity Community of Practice (CoP) will host a virtual conversation about diversifying the physician workforce in Minnesota on September 12, from 2 to 3 pm.

They will speak on innovative strategies to increase workforce diversification. This virtual meeting is open to all physicians, health professionals, and leaders from Minnesota health systems, medical groups, and medical associations with an interest in health equity.

Working toward an anti-racist culture of medicine in Minnesota requires more inclusive narratives. This means centering the perspectives of those most impacted by racism in medicine and providing a platform for them to share their stories. For the speaker, it necessitates vulnerability and risk. For the audience, it requires listening to uncomfortable truths. In a series of interviews, local physicians share their stories and truths about practicing medicine as a person from a marginalized or minoritized community in Minnesota. Thank you, Dr. Oragwu, for spending time with us to reflect on your experiences. #RacialJustice #RacismInMedicine #SpeakYourTruth
