Abstract
Storylines of Family Medicine is a 12-part series of thematically linked mini-essays with accompanying illustrations that explore the many dimensions of family medicine as interpreted by individual family physicians and medical educators in the USA and elsewhere around the world. In ‘X: standing up for diversity, equity and inclusion’, authors address the following themes: ‘The power of diversity—why inclusivity is essential to equity in healthcare’, ‘Medical education for whom?’, ‘Growing a diverse and inclusive workforce’, ‘Therapeutic judo—an inclusive approach to patient care’, ‘Global family medicine—seeing the world “upside down”’, ‘The inverse care law‘, ‘Social determinants of health as a lens for care’, ‘Why family physicians should care about human rights’ and ‘Toward health equity—the opportunome’. May the essays that follow inspire readers to promote change.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
