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:

  1. 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. 
  2. Identify and analyze the effects of implicit bias and structural racism in clinical scenarios.
  3. 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.
