Immunization Disparities

This research project will assess the extent to which medical schools prepare students to address the immunization disparities experienced by vulnerable populations in primary care settings. It will employ multiple methods to assess current medical school educational practice, identify evidence-based best practices, develop and recommend curricular modifications, and disseminate information to the broader medical education profession through presentations, policy briefs, peer reviewed journals, and social media.
