285.992: Specialty Society Committees to Eliminate Health Care Disparities
MSSNY strongly encourages all state specialty medical societies to form a Committee on Health Equity, and these committees should share ideas and work together with MSSNY’s Committee on Health Equity as a coalition. MSSNY also strongly encourages all state specialty medical societies to incorporate, within their CME courses, lectures and other academic activities, relevant information about access to care, health literacy, cultural competency, workforce diversity, management options, compliance, outcomes, and the social determinants of health that relate to healthcare disparities in their respective specialties, including race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender identity.
