果冻影院 Emergency Medicine URiM & Allyship Committee

Vision

Our vision, the Emergency Medicine Underrepresented in Medicine (URiM) & Allyship Team, is to make progressive strides within this generation to enhance the structure of healthcare, advance equitable health care, innovate through transformative research, retain URiM healers, and build a coalition of allies for health equity.

Mission

We strive to be an exceptional national leader in high-quality acute care by being upstanders for equity, building community trust, promoting community engagement, and training the next generation of compassionate doctors with a didactic platform centered on Developing an Outlook on Other Realities (DOOR). We will innovate through equity-oriented research, policies, and outreach. We believe that each person should be allowed to live to their full potential; and we will actively work to achieve that goal through community engagement intent on reducing disparities across the population in and beyond Wisconsin.
