Program Overview

The goal of the Section on Early Career Physicians (SOECP) Health Equity Grant Program is to support our early career physicians, especially those who are underrepresented in medicine, as they conduct research, interventions, and education that address antiracism and health equity in communities and institutions. Creative ideas are welcome, and some project examples include:

  • Community approaches that target health disparities
  • Institutional approaches to improve diversity in medicine
  • Local gatherings that showcase careers in medicine for youth in underserved areas (similar to the Black Men in White Coats work)
  • District-wide educational forum on antiracism
