Infectious Disease Diversity, Equity, and Anti-racism (ID2EA)

The Yale Section of Infectious Disease (ID) established an Infectious Disease section Diversity, Equity, and Anti-racism (ID2EA) curriculum. Since combatting racism and welcoming diversity and including are a process, the curriculum’s framework embraces the concept of a roadmap with ongoing stops. These stops are interactive sessions with a selected theme discussed by expert and community panelists and moderated by 1-2 members of the ID2EA curriculum committee.
