Community voices are champions of progress, working across roles and disciplines to drive meaningful change in academic medicine and beyond. The Community Voice Journey Path is designed for individuals advancing institutional transformation—researchers, analysts, advocates, and innovators—who are focused on building more collaborative, sustainable, and equitable systems. This curated track offers opportunities to engage in solution-focused conversations, explore strategies for lasting impact, and connect with peers committed to cultural change, wellbeing, and systemic innovation. By following this journey path, attendees will gain new tools, fresh perspectives, and actionable approaches to lead transformation in their institutions and communities.
