The Social Justice Coalition (SJC) serves as a platform to coordinate and create accountability for already ongoing efforts in the Larner community aimed at promoting critical social dialogue in our training and establishing systems of justice and equity in the community. By pooling resources and seeking common ground between the efforts of different groups and individuals, we hope to encourage an atmosphere of critical social consciousness and reflection at Larner. In coalition, we seek to build sustainable curricular and extracurricular vehicles for making social justice and cultural competency a key tenet of Larner's identity. Key accomplishments to date include major revisions to the social medicine curriculum, the creation of multiple events educating students and faculty about social determinants of health, co-creation of the anti-racism task force, deepened dialog regarding admissions equity, and beyond.
