Description:
The intent of this conference is to examine global and local health disparities in a multidisciplinary context in hopes of inspiring action on our campus and in our broader community. Ultimately, our goal is to provide a timely discourse for future health providers on the challenges facing health in our ever-growing, diverse society. By exposing students to the numerous heath and social inequalities that exist today, we hope to create a diverse workforce that will understand the issues impacting the well-being of our population and take action accordingly.
The theme for our conference this year is empowerment. Our 9 breakout sessions are presented by healthcare workers, professors and activists from around the community who will address topics ranging from racism to oral health to environmental justice to education and access to healthcare. Congressman Jim McDermott will conclude the event as our keynote speaker.
