As part of their continued work, the EDI Committee has undertaken a number of projects to support PARA’s commitment to fostering equity and diversity. These include an environmental scan to identify organizations that represent or support resident physicians in Alberta and the development and implementation of the Equity Impact Assessment tool that helps measure the positive and negative impacts of the proposed events, initiatives, or policies to different resident physician groups.
