• Highlights: The USACS Health Equity Fellowship is designed to develop and train EM, HM, or ICU physicians to become subject matter experts in health equity. This fellowship is critical to our work to create leaders who can drive meaningful policy and structural changes in acute care. Through this program, fellows will acquire knowledge and understanding of translating concepts of health equity, public policy, ethics, and social medicine to improve our communities and patient care. Under the direction of USACS Chief of Clinician Engagement Dr. Jayne Kendall, the fellowship can be accomplished from any USACS clinical site. Fellows have a national role in USACS and are mentored by the Chief Medical Officer team, participate in health equity projects, writing and educational opportunities including conferences, and have opportunities to establish and implement projects and policies that address the social determinants of health.
