A collaboration towards justice in medical education.
RJ Med Ed is an ongoing, multidisciplinary collaboration, dedicated to designing and implementing a Reproductive Justice curriculum in all levels of medical education.
Recognizing a gap in physician training, we aim to incorporate a historical background on reproductive injustices into existing curricula and develop learning tools and exercises that better prepare and empower physicians to change the future of care for the better.
The RJ Med Ed project was initiated in 2016 through a Society in Family Planning Fellowship Project. We formed an advisory board of activists, advocates, scholars, and experts in reproductive justice and identified learning outcomes for a reproductive justice physician curriculum. (Learn More). Additionally, we gathered a small group of advocates and educators to discuss pedagogical values. (Learn More).
Currently, our team is collaborating with reproductive justice advocates to create a reproductive justice physician curriculum aligned with these learning outcomes and pedagogical values. The curriculum consists of 11 modules covering a wide variety of reproductive justice and healthcare topics. We've identified recommended readings, sample didactics, and educational videos featuring RJ advocates to enhance physician learning for each topic.
Our team is always interested in growing our network of educators and activists who want to transform medical education. Interested in joining our team?
