The Rodham Institute, housed within the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, believes that academic medical centers can and should be an active part of the solution to eliminate health disparities, and to achieve health equity in our nation’s capital.
Our three focused areas chosen in order to accomplish this mission are:
- Academic Medical Center Education on Health Equity: Educating the inter-professional medical community on identifying and addressing the social determinants of health to improve the overall wellbeing of all of our patients.
- Workforce Pipeline in Health Careers: Increasing the number of health professionals from communities in need by deepening and sustaining interest in science, health education, and establishes a pathway to a health professions career.
- Community Collaborations: Supporting initiatives led by communities in the greater Washington, D.C. area to achieve health equity.
