Alliance of Independent Academic Medical Centers + The Proximity Project Distinction in Diversity Program
Take your justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) work to
the next level with proximity!
Join us for a year-long cohort experience that centers
underrepresented voices, deepens understanding and community ties, and
energizes healthcare professionals
for sustained JEDI work.
Guided Program Overview
The Alliance of Independent Academic Medical Centers (AIAMC) and
The Proximity Project are offering a unique year-long training program for
healthcare professionals looking to deepen their JEDI work and build enduring
ties with marginalized communities.
The Distinction in Diversity program will bring together
healthcare professionals from independent academic medical centers across the
country for ten two-hour-long monthly virtual training sessions bookended with
in-person learning and community-building experiences.
This program is not an isolated, intellectual exercise— leaders
connect closely with patients, caregivers, and community leaders whose truth
and insights inform participants’ reflections and actions. Distinction in Diversity is
for doers, learners, and healthcare professionals seeking to challenge
themselves to make a greater impact on justice, equity, diversity, and
inclusion.
Distinction in Diversity builds upon the Alliance of Independent Academic Medical
Center’s eighteen-month National Initiative VIII JEDI: Justice, Equity,
Diversity, and Inclusion and The Proximity Project’s eight-week training
program for healthcare leaders. For more
