The medical community is giving increasing attention to issues of social class, gender, race, ethnicity, culture and other areas of difference in interprofessional education and patient care. The Changing Worlds: Diversity and Health Care Project, an interprofessional diversity education initiative, was designed with the aim of exploring social issues in the medical professions. This project brought together the Faculties of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Professions at Dalhousie University in an effort to address issues of difference related to multiplicities of races, ethnicities, cultures, languages, sexualities and religions. The findings of this paper include methods for the project implementation and future direction for education initiatives aimed at issues of social justice and equity in health care.
