CAPPA is proud to offer the Health Equity Module as a companion piece to the training manual you received at the beginning of your course.
This publication was compiled by members of our Delegation for Inclusivity, Diversity, and Equity with the intention to educate students on the history and concepts surrounding health disparities in the United States and Canada, focusing on the statistics and experiences of a few of the communities that are most affected.
It also serves as an encouragement, offering resources and solutions that work toward improving outcomes for maternal and infant health across the board.
