DEI Strategic Plan
ABIM’s DEI Strategic Plan was designed to meet the commitments made by ABIM’s Board of Directors and ABIMF’s Board of Trustees. Through the work outlined in this strategy, we seek to engage the broader healthcare community in a collective movement to address health disparities and health equity and support long-term, sustainable change that fosters a reality where everyone is treated with dignity and respect and receive the highest quality of health care regardless of their background. This includes ABIM diplomates, boards, advisory members, and specialty committees.
Equity Work Goals
- Develop and implement programs that address the racial and ethnic disparities in health care
- Build awareness of health disparities and promote strategies to influence action to address these inequities
- Influence the education and training of board certified internists to equip them with the skills and awareness to recognize and prevent healthcare disparities and to promote health equity
- Intentionally create and foster partnerships to exponentially expand the impact of ABIM’s efforts in addressing systemic racism and disparities in health care, in the healthcare profession, in the provision of health care and the outcomes of that care
- Create a diverse and inclusive workplace culture that attracts and retains top talent
- Develop internal metrics to measure our success
