Description of CME Course
Understanding that we all come to equity and justice with potentially different life experiences and levels of understanding of the existing historical context, evidence, theory, and practice, this section grounds our members and readers in common definitions, concepts, and frameworks. This primer is not exhaustive but, rather, more of an introduction. We recognize that there are other useful and valid ways to explain the concepts that follow, and that language evolves over time. We encourage further investigation, engagement, and reflection to expand one’s knowledge.
