ACG Visiting Scholar in
Equity, Diversity, and Ethical Care
The Visiting Scholar in Equity, Diversity, and Ethical Care provides lectures to create awareness around the issues and challenges related to delivering equitable care, respecting diversity, and instilling ethical decision-making. A section of the EAVP application will allow institutions to include a focus on equity, diversity, and/or ethical care. These topics can be offered as stand-alone lectures or in conjunction with a disease state topic-driven visit (i.e., Endoscopic Considerations in Underserved Populations).
Along with the Center for Leadership Ethics & Equity (LE&E Center), ACG has created the Visiting Scholar in Equity, Diversity, and Ethical Care to help promote these values to institutions so that they can provide sensitive care to patients of many different backgrounds. The more comfortable patients feel the more likely they are to seek care to improve their health outcomes.
