News and Commentary Season 2: Social Mission in Health Professions Education

Vital Voices Logo

We are excited to announce the second season of Vital Voices, a podcast of the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, and share the first episode.   

This episode’s transcript is available here.

The second season of Vital Voices focuses on the remarkable careers and accomplishments of the individuals and the institutions who have received the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Awards for Excellence in Social Mission. These awards are supported by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation and their selection is made through the Social Mission Alliance, formerly known as the Beyond Flexner Alliance.

In today’s episode, to kick things off, I speak with Toyese Oyeyemi Jr., MPH, MCHES, executive director, and Candice Chen, MD, MPH, former board chair, of the Social Mission Alliance. They provide an overview of the Social Mission Alliance, and share insight on what goes into selecting recipients of the Josiah Macy Jr. Awards for Excellence in Social Mission.

As always, we hope that you’ll share the podcast with your social media networks. Look for episode two next week and if you’re interested in hearing more about social mission in health professions education, we encourage you to subscribe to Vital Voices wherever you get your podcasts and lookout for more information from us soon.
