The motivation for this publication began in 2012 when the opportunity to redesign and teach a community and behavioral medicine course as part of clinical course offerings at an Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) institution.
After being selected as a national clinical faculty in family medicine by the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME) in 2013 and beginning to write and review national board exam questions about ethical policy, practice, and procedure, it was clear that interest existed for more curricular inclusion of this material so that students and residents could be better prepared to address disparities by understanding population health issues and concerns. This new energy from national medical leaders including those at NBOME further supported a need for new [text] books to resource students and faculty in all medical education programs while the American Hospital Association and other healthcare delivery organizations calling for standards inclusive of these communication and ethical practices. Increased venues for interprofessional education further made the case for studying-related issues. Currently, a national online medical education program is providing significant study materials to address diversity, equity, and inclusion for UME students. This material includes definitions, examples of how these issues impact health and healthcare providers, and specific provisions to aid in addressing disparities.
