OnlineMedEd’s Core Values

We are dedicated to diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) in medicine. Our DEI curriculum is for both students and faculty.

Our diversity is our strength. We promise to include examples of patients from a variety of backgrounds, races, genders, and body types.

We don’t hide issues, we meet them head-on. Examples include the Intern Guide, with information on what to do when encountering racism, and Case X, including treating nonbinary patients, identifying sexual assault and trafficking, and navigating those conversations.

Accessibility features like expert closed captions are standard for all online medical education course materials we provide, and meet WCAG 2.0 standards.

We created a focused investigative series for both patients and practitioners that explores the history and realities of racism in medicine and discusses ways to address them head-on.

Health care is for everyone regardless of age, sex, gender identity, race, cultural identity, or native language. This includes, but is not limited to, gender dysphoria (Psychology/Psychiatry) and transgender health (ObGyn and Surgery).

Systemic racism has prevented Black students from becoming practitioners for far too long. A more diverse pool of doctors means better outcomes for patients.

We partner with organizations to help raise diversity, equity, and inclusion across the community and address issues like sex trafficking, child abuse, and gun violence.

We lead by example. We help faculty development understand how to leverage OnlineMedEd’s curriculum as talking points for in-person conversations.
