Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
Stanford Health Policy is committed to the principles of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in all of its endeavors. This page highlights some of our current initiatives as well as research by Stanford Health Policy faculty and trainees on health equity and health disparities.
Seminars, Research and Mentorship
Health Equity Lecture Series
Stanford Health Policy's new Health Equity Lecture Series will be launched on Oct. 29 with an inaugural panel. We will convene a diverse group of experts from multiple disciplines to share recent advances and paths toward health equity. The panel supports SHP’s mission of interdisciplinary innovation, discovery, and education to improve health policy.
Health Equity Research
Stanford Health Policy faculty and students conduct research that promotes health equity, from a COVID-19 modeling project that looks at the racial and ethnic disparities in vaccine coverage, examining ways to distribute payments to health-care plans more efficiently and fairly, and evidence that paid family leave does not hurt employers.
Mentoring and Professional Development Initiatives
Stanford Health Policy faculty are involved in workshops and professional development programs for women PhD candidates in health economics and health policy as well as population health research for college students who are from underrepresented and historically excluded groups in the health sciences.
Stanford Health Policy is committed to addressing health disparities in relation to major forces of change — including technological innovation, migration, climate change, and income inequality.
