From the conference organizers: "This conference emerges from our personal passions to improve healthcare for the marginalized, our commitment to innovate, and our efforts integrating these passions into our training as medical students.
This conference is a salient opportunity. At its core, primary care serving communities of color is a collaboration - of different fields, types of clinicians, agencies and organizations, and patients of diverse life experiences. We envision this to be a new space for all of these stakeholders to engage in dialogue that centers the health needs of communities of color, empowers clinicians and institutions to support one another in meeting those needs, and builds new partnerships for health equity work. This is an active space, a working space, and an accountability space.
Our conference and panelists are rooted in our communities of color we are accountable to serving, located in Southeastern Michigan. However, we welcome healthcare institutions & trainees across the country to the conversation."
