Given the importance of the upcoming election to our workforce and the patients we serve, GWIMS is supporting voter education with its new toolkit, Voters’ Education Initiative: Engagement and Empowerment. Medical schools and teaching hospitals can help foster an inclusive democracy through civic engagement among learners, staff, and patients. Encouraging nonpartisan voter registration is a simple yet effective way for these institutions to advance their commitment to health equity and is allowable under federal law.
Additionally, the AAMC has developed a fact sheet in collaboration with Vot-ER, a nonpartisan organization that works to integrate voter education and registration into health care settings.
