2023 Advancing Healthcare Equity Speaker Series
Advancing Healthcare Equity Speaker Series
Inequities in healthcare delivery mean that many people who most need health care have limited or no access to it. Race, socioeconomic and employment status, mental health issues, gender and sexual orientation can all impact patients’ access and experiences. Join us for a speaker series that will examine medical, legal, sociocultural and historical perspectives on this critical topic. Hosted by Professors Emily Merchant, Meaghan O’Keefe and Marina Ellefson as a part of their Quarter at Aggie Square curriculum, speakers will include faculty from UC Davis School of Medicine and Law, and other institutions and organizations.
Co-Sponsored by the Quarter at Aggie Square Program and Science and Technology Studies Department at UC Davis.
The talks are free and open to the public.
RSVP for the speaker series to attend in person or via zoom
All events (unless noted otherwise) will be in CHT 1341 on the UC Davis Medical Campus and livestreamed via zoom.
Tuesdays, 12:10-1:30 pm.
RSVP Here to attend in person
