OVERVIEW AND BENEFITS

This interactive publication includes a full transcript of the Leadership Plenary Addresses at Learn Serve Lead 2015 in Baltimore.

AAMC President and CEO, Darrell G. Kirch, M.D., stresses the obligation of health professionals to view the issue of inequality through the lens of ethical commitment – not political ideology. Using the backdrop of current events, Dr. Kirch speaks about inequality in:

• Health care for the mentally ill
• Health disparities facing our military and veterans
• Conscious and unconscious bias faced by the LGBT community.

He points to some successful initiatives at several academic medical centers, and he calls on educators, CEOs, scientists, and health professionals to contribute to health equity and community health.
