Please join the Healthcare Club, BMA, P@K, AMA and HMA in a panel discussion with Dr. Maya Green and Dr. Monique Jindal on disparities, inequity and discrimination within the healthcare system for minority communities. The panel will speak broadly to structural societal racism and provide an evidence-based investigation into racism within healthcare. Additionally, Dr. Jindal will discuss the impact of policing on healthcare outcomes for African American Youth and Dr. Green will speak to challenges and biases faced by the LGBTQ community within healthcare.
