Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Resources

AAHPM is committed to educating and building a community that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion. The following resources are intended to provide education and learning opportunities and are not officially endorsed by AAHPM.

AAHPM’s Four Commitments to DEI

  1. AAHPM creates a welcoming environment in which all members see themselves reflected in the work of the organization and all individuals and communities can join together to support one another.
  2. AAHPM is committed to building a community and field that is diverse across many dimensions, including but not limited to age, gender, gender identity, ability, education, ethnicity, nationality, political opinion, professional experience, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status.
  3. AAHPM creates spaces for difficult conversations, hearing all voices, and providing leadership where it is needed in our governance, membership, operations, and programs, resulting in the delivery of culturally effective, respectful, and high-quality care to all.
  4. AAHPM is committed to supporting and sustaining an environment that facilitates and maintains open dialogue, learning, leadership, and growth for all of our members.

2022 DEI Assessment

The Academy's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consultants, the Exeter Group, conducted a comprehensive organizational assessment from July 2021 through July 2022. The assessment included a DEI survey, stakeholder interviews, focus groups, member data analysis, and a document and learning resources review.

Membership Demographics

Out of the 5,469 members invited, 739 participated in the DEI survey, resulting in a response rate of 13.51%. View the demographics collected from members who completed the assessment survey.
