Health Equity Rounds
Health Equity Rounds is an interdisciplinary case discussion offered quarterly by the Department of Pediatrics with a focus on equity.
Health Equity Rounds is presented for three purposes:
- Describe systems, practices, and policies that have excluded and harmed communities based on race, gender, sexuality, ability, and language, and the impact on their health and health outcomes.
- Identify and analyze the effects of implicit bias and structural racism in clinical scenarios.
- Listen, learn, and connect with Community Advocates
All are welcome to join us in person in the Wilf Family Center Auditorium or virtually via z.umn.edu/HealthEquityRounds.
Lunch is provided for in-person attendees. If you are planning on attending in person, please register for the session as soon as possible.
