Position Description
The Program for Language Equity, under the leadership of Director Dr. Alisa Khan, MD, MPH, is looking for a research assistant to help with the activities of the program, in collaboration with Dr. Khan and a program manager.

A core guiding principle of the program is that language should be a strength, not a barrier, and that empowering communities through linguistic inclusion can lead to higher quality, safer, and more equitable care for all.
