About the Symposium
Join us on Thursday, October 24, 2019 in Farkas Auditorium for our Fifth Annual Health Disparities Symposium, co-sponsored by the NYU-Health + Hospitals Clinical and Translational Science Institute, the NYU Department of Population Health, and the NYU School of Medicine Office of Diversity Affairs.
The Symposium program will include a series of short, engaging talks on the work being done to address health disparities and to achieve health equity, a panel discussion on controversies in population health, a listening session on community perspectives of research, and a poster session and awards ceremony.
The objectives of the Health Disparities Symposium are to:
- Create a space to discuss health disparities and present the work being done by community partners, faculty, staff, clinicians, and students at NYU, NYC Health + Hospitals, and beyond to address these disparities and to achieve health equity
- Facilitate connections, build networks, and foster interdisciplinary collaborations for health disparities research and activities among faculty, staff, students, clinicians, community partners, policymakers, healthcare systems, funders, industry, and the private sector
- Provide a forum for bidirectional education and dissemination between community and researchers, and a venue through which students can learn of opportunities for involvement
Agenda coming soon.
