Finally, for any who are not familiar with our group, we are the Residents and Fellows for Global Healthy Equity -- an assembly of trainees dedicated to the elimination of health disparities both locally and globally. We aim to help the world's most vulnerable communities by promoting physician advocacy and service, participating in educational opportunities through our community and global partners, and increasing awareness of health inequities.
