Hannah Kakara Anderson, PhD, MBA uses tools like design-based and qualitative research to answer pressing questions about equity. Her work defines equity as not only the restoration of equality for historically marginalized groups, but going beyond equality to proactively ensure just treatment, access, and opportunities that create and sustain a diverse society where all can thrive. In medical education, Dr. Kakara Anderson’s work involves learner assessment, curriculum development, and program evaluation. She collaborates with marginalized individuals and communities to co-create programs and study designs that incorporate their lived experiences while examining existing educational and medical structures.
Dr. Kakara Anderson has pioneered the application of justice-oriented assessment (originally developed in K-12 educational research) to address inequity in medical education learner assessment. She works alongside pediatric residents, patients, faculty, and staff to redesign effective, more equitable assessments at five children’s hospitals across the U.S.
