Addressing the Opportunity Gap for Young Children
In the pursuit of a just and equitable society, it is crucial to recognize that the foundations of health, well-being, and success are laid in the early years of life. The National Academy of Medicine’s recent consensus study on the causes and consequences of the opportunity gap for young children from birth to age eight sheds light on the profound implications of unequal access to resources and opportunities 1. This is a brief discussion on how addressing the opportunity gap can impact health professions education curricula and contribute to advancing health equity.
