Philanthropic Initiative Supports Academic
Family Medicine Antiracism Learning Collaborative Project
The Adtalem Global Education Foundation has announced a two-year
strategic partnership with the Society of Teachers of Family
Medicine (“STFM”), a national community of academic leaders
committed to developing an accomplished family medicine workforce
prepared to serve as the foundation of America’s health care
system.
With a two-year commitment of $180,750, the Adtalem Global
Education Foundation will serve as the lead philanthropic partner
for STFM’s Academic Family Medicine Antiracism Learning
Collaborative, a project to:
- Empower and educate faculty, so they will identify racist
structures and behaviors within their academic institutions and
become leaders for change
- Promote allyship
- Spread effective change strategies
“Adtalem is committed to combatting inequality and encouraging
civic engagement across the entirety of the healthcare sector,”
said Stephen Beard, president and CEO of Adtalem Global Education.
“This partnership between the Adtalem Global Education Foundation
and STFM strategically aligns with that commitment. Supporting and
taking part in this national collaborative will help leaders and
changemakers across the industry, including our own faculty
participants, identify new approaches to combatting structural
racism in medicine and improve health outcomes and equity by
reducing disparities.”
“We are grateful to have the Adtalem Global Education Foundation
as a philanthropic partner for this initiative,” said Judy
Washington, M.D., president of the STFM Foundation. “We are hopeful
that this is the beginning of an ongoing relationship to advance
racial equity in medical education.”
The Adtalem Global Education Foundation’s grant funding will
help support a 20-month study where up to 20 selected pairs will
attend in-person and virtual training sessions as they refine and
implement projects to reduce racism within their respective
institutions. Pairs will include a faculty member from a family
medicine department or residency program and an ally from the same
program, institution or health system. Pairs will be assigned
mentors who will provide guidance and expertise.
“The project fills critical gaps in the efforts currently being
implemented in academic institutions,” said Tricia Elliott, M.D.,
chair of the STFM Antiracism Task Force. “The dyad structure both
promotes allyship and empowers and educates participants so they
can be models and advocates for antiracism and become leaders for
change.”
Adtalem’s institutions, American University of the Caribbean
School of Medicine, Chamberlain University, Ross University School
of Medicine, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and
Walden University, collectively contribute to expanding access to
education for a diverse range of students. As the Adtalem Global
Education Foundation joins forces with STFM to support the
collaborative, their combined efforts will promote racial equity
and help address the prevalence of racism in academic family
medicine.
