Working Group for Racial Justice

Working Group for Racial Justice

In partnership with Georgetown University Medical Center, the MedStar Health Academic Affairs Working Group for Racial Justice (WGRJ) was created to address the negative impact of systemic racism in our MedStar Health academic community.

The focus audience of this working group is MedStar Health residents, fellows, and teaching faculty.

This effort consists of a Steering Committee and six Subcommittees, or working groups, focused on the development and implementation of sustainable positive change in our clinical learning environments.
