CALL FOR ABSTRACTS 2021 AAMC Group on Diversity and Inclusion (GDI) & Health Workforce Research Joint Conference
May 5-7, 2021 Virtual Conference
The 2021 AAMC Group on Diversity and Inclusion (GDI) & Health Workforce Research Joint Conference will take place Wednesday, May 5 – Friday, May 7, 2021 - entirely online. Important and timely, this event is the first collaboration between the AAMC Health Workforce Research Conference and AAMC Group on Diversity and Inclusion.
Connecting Two Communities
This virtual conference represents an exceptional opportunity for the health workforce research and diversity and inclusion communities to share their work, skills, and on-the-ground perspectives with one another. Together, we can strengthen our current, and diversify our future, health workforce. This event will connect health workforce researchers, educators, and policymakers, with Diversity and Inclusion professionals to jointly address state and federal health workforce issues.
Abstracts will be accepted online through January 19, 2021. The following different types of submissions will be considered:

Important Note: The Conference Advisory Committee highly encourages collaborative submissions and reserves the right to consolidate submissions and/or recommend any additional speakers or content-related changes that will enhance the presentation’s relevance to the audience.
Logistical Information for Presenting in a Virtual Environment
The session will be delivered virtually through a platform of the AAMC’s selection.
AAMC’s event organizers will determine if all or parts of the session will be presented as a pre-recorded session or if the session will be presented live. If presented as pre-recorded the speaker will need to be available in April to record an original presentation and will not utilize previously recorded materials. All speakers will be required to participate in a series of virtual trainings and rehearsals. They must also commit to being online live during their session time to answer audience questions – session times will be determined by the event organizers. It’s extremely important that you ensure your availability upfront to avoid changing speakers last minute.
Concurrent sessions will be a maximum of 1-hour time block. Most sessions will have pre-recorded content then speakers will be available for live Q&A at the conclusion of the content. We recommend restricting the content portion of the session to 30 minutes maximum; this will allow enough time for comprehensive Q&A. Virtual sessions need to be shorter in length than typical in-person events to maintain the attention of participants. Speakers will need appropriate technology (laptop, webcam, microphone, Internet access, etc.) and environment (minimal disruptions and outside noise) for a professional presentation of the virtual session.
Award Opportunities for Learners
We will be offering two awards for student (including residents, fellows and postdocs) submissions:
