Resident Files: Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Section of Pediatric Trainees with Jeffrey Edwards, MD (S6:E15)

In our series, the Resident Files, we feature the thoughts and work of talented pediatric residents here in Colorado and around the country.

The section on pediatric trainees has implemented several initiatives into making pediatrics a more diverse and inclusive workforce. This group is working towards achieving child health equity in a global sense. The equity, diversity, and inclusion work group has focused their efforts on increasing visibility of underrepresented in medicine groups highlighting both trainees and faculty members using social media campaigns.

This episode was broadcasted live from the AAP conference in Anaheim California. Today I am privileged to be joined by Jeffrey Edwards.

Jeffrey is a member of the section on pediatric trainees currently wrapping up his time as the executive coordinator for equity diversity and inclusion with the section on pediatric trainees leadership council.
