Event Description
The May 9th event featured speakers who are dismantling inequity within and beyond health care. Expert speakers challenged our audience to participate in the reimagination of a health care system that centers community and healing over profiteering. Our speakers discussed how profit in health care incentivizes inequity by perpetuating and exacerbating segregated systems of care, which serves to maintain class inequality. They also highlighted strategies for disrupting our existing systems to catalyze change within and beyond single institutions; and explored how the process of undoing structural incentives for inequity creates opportunities for collective liberation and healing.
Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit is available at no cost to attendees. This activity has been approved for 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™ **
