Education Committee Self Nomination for Rashmi Bharadwaj

Throughout my medical school journey, I have focused on impacting medical education, augmenting mentorship, and building initiatives that uphold diversity, equity, and inclusion. For example, I have developed a method to review clinical curriculum to ensure it was grounded in health equity, led an interdisciplinary mentorship program throughout the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, and engaged in several research efforts that uplift the voices of marginalized patient populations. While I have thoroughly enjoyed engaging in these efforts, I am eager to build upon my developed skillset and contribute to these goals on a national scale.

As a member of the AAS Medial Student Task Force, I have already had the opportunity to start working towards these goals. By working with a lovely group of motivated medical students, residents, and faculty, I have been able to help with advertising for webinars focused on writing abstracts and planning talks on preparing conference posters and presentations. These initiatives have allowed us to make quality resources freely available to a diverse group of individuals. I am excited by the prospect of continuing to expand my reach and involvement with AAS by serving on one of the committees, specifically Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion or Education.
