Social Justice and Professionalism:
Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities

 


The 2019 APHC Annual Meeting will explore social justice in health professions education and practice in health professions across the U.S. and internationally. While there are many definitions of social justice, it is emphasized as a key value in the 2002 Charter on Medical Professionalism, the 2017 Code of Ethics for Social Work and included in the Code of Ethics for Nursing.  What does our experience with healthcare in the 21st century tell us about successes, failures, and opportunities in embracing social justice as a professional value? What is our path moving forward?
