C-Change

The National Initiative on Gender, Culture and Leadership in Medicine, also known as C - Change for cultural change, addresses the imperative of developing women and under-represented minority faculty members’ full potential and leadership in academic medicine in the United States. The project engages five medical schools in action research to analyze the current situation and to facilitate cultural change so that all faculty can contribute fully. Access to the full skills and perspectives of a diverse faculty is essential for superior interdisciplinary work in healthcare, education and biomedical research, and for providing optimal care to a diverse nation. 

This national action-research project is made possible by the generous and continuing support of the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation. Supplemental funds are also provided by OPHS, OWH and OMH; NIH, ORWH; AHRQ; CDC and HRSA.
