Vincent Guilamo-Ramos, incoming DUSON dean, was featured in the recently released "A Critical Conversation on Health Equity and Racism" from the American Academy of Nursing's 2020 Institute for Nursing Leadership. He also participated in the "Unseen Diversity: How to Elevate Inclusivity and Affect Change" panel discussion that's connected with the report. 

With the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Academy was able to offer the 2020 Institute for Nursing Leadership's "A Critical Conversation on Health Equity and Racism" that featured leaders in diversity, equity and inclusion discussing the systemic racism that exists within health care and how it prevents us from achieving true health equity. This report summarizes the discussions from the event as well as the panel presentations. The Academy considers this publication a critical step in addressing the historical inequities and racist structures within our nation's systems while acknowledging the profession's role in perpetuating them, so we can progress forward.
