The Macy Faculty Scholars might explore many areas of possible innovations in health professions education. The Foundation has particular interest in innovations that take place in learning environments where clinical care is delivered. Within these clinical learning environments, the Foundation is interested in projects which:
- Advance equity, diversity, and belonging.
- Enhance collaboration among health professionals, educators, and learners.
- Successfully navigate and address ethical dilemmas that arise when the principles of the health professions are in conflict with barriers imposed by the health delivery system.
