CAFP members were selected to form this new committee, and they were tasked with addressing disparities that were encountered in the task force. Members of the JEDI Committee include Shannon Connolly MD, FAAFP -Chair, Melissa Campos MD, FAAFP -Vice Chair, Rob Assibey MD, FAAFP, Adia Scrubb MD, MPP, Sheryl Recinos, MD, Jorge Otanez, MD, Prachi Priyam MD, MPH, Phillip Brown, MD, Theresa Vu, MD, Andrea Banuelos Mota, MD, and Florence Yuan MD, DABFM.

She hopes that JEDI principles will be incorporated in all parts of medicine so that one day, we won't need a JEDI committee. Andrea Banuelos Mota, MD, MPH, is a first-generation Latine family physician practicing community medicine in Los Angeles County. She is grateful to be part of the CAFP JEDI committee since 2023.
