In 2021, AAPM&R was honored to be selected to participate in Equity Matters™, a joint initiative of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS), to drive measurable improvements in equity by increasing physician workforce diversity and creating clinical and learning environments that are safe, inclusive and equitable.
As part of the Equity Matters™ effort, a FREE CME learning path was created for self-paced education to help individuals move toward meaningful change in issues related to diversity, equity and inclusion. The Academy’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee reviewed and selected videos to highlight in a successive monthly approach that corresponds with the month’s observances and also organized a starter pack.
A free account is required to earn CME for access these videos. To obtain FREE CME, all videos within a module must be completed in order. Create your account here.
For quick access to a specific video, check out the video library. The video library content can be accessed in any order but does not offer CME.
Each month we will highlight videos that correspond with that month's observances. Explore them here.
