Our Story
After seeing that our medical school curricula were perpetuating weight bias, across several institutions, we identified a serious need for change. United by a shared ambition to make medicine more size inclusive, we decided to create “Medical Students for Size Inclusivity” in April, 2022. Founded on the principles of respect, equity, and inclusion, we believe all people, regardless of their weight, body shape, and size, have the right to pursue health, however that may look for each individual.
