About the URMC 21-Day Race Equity Challenge

The URMC 21-Day Race Equity Challenge is inspired by Dr. Eddie Moore Jr.'s 21-Day Racial Equity Habit-Building Challenge and organized by the Association of Residents and Fellows (AMRF) in partnership with the Office of Equity and Inclusion (OEI). This challenge is intended as a self-guided learning tool for all URMC students, residents, fellows, faculty, and staff who are at all stages and levels of familiarity with DEI initiatives and offers an open and safe environment for discussion and reflection. The challenge consists of 5 major parts and a reflection on each: read, watch, listen, notice, and act. This is a 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge brought to you by the Association of Residents and Fellows (AMRF) in partnership with the Office of Equity and Inclusion (OEI). The goal of this challenge is to engage the URMC community in an open and safe environment to foster diversity, equity and inclusion. The daily challenge consists of either reading, listening and watching followed by learning, reflection and action.
