Embedding Equity and Inclusion Principles Into Nephrology Board Examinations: An Essential Part of Our Path Toward Kidney Health Justice

Abstract

Recognition of widespread health inequalities across disease conditions and their startling impact on morbidity and health care costs have motivated multiple professional societies to ensure board examinations reflect and enhance inclusive, anti-biased, and equitable care. In this perspective, we offer five nephrology case examples and accompanying learning objectives to demonstrate how principles of inclusion, equity, and anti-bias can be embedded into nephrology examinations to enhance care for all populations.
