Recap: “Research and Reality: The Social Determinants of Health”

May 15, 2018 by DFC

Thank you to all who joined Doctors for Change for our May 9th forum on social determinants of health! Last week’s event was a tremendous success and spurred much-needed discussion about this important topic. We would also like to thank our wonderful presenters, Tanweer Kaleemullah and Nancy Correa, for giving us their time and valuable insight, as well as our partners at Harris County Public Health and Texas Children’s Hospital for their continued collaboration with our organization.

If you were unable to attend the event but would still like to view our presentations, full video of the forum is available via our YouTube channel, or by visiting the following link:

A more comprehensive recap of the event, along with presentation slides and related links, is also available here on the event page.

Once again, we would like to thank all of our supporters for continuing to be a part of our educational forums and helping to continue the discussion on these topics, and we hope to see you again at our future events.

  • The 8th Annual Out for Health Conference will be hosted by McGovern Medical School

    When: January 23, 2021 - 7:45 am to 5:00 pm


    Full details:

    https://med.uth.edu/blog/2021/01/06/mcgovern-to-host-out-for-health-conference/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Scoop_December-17-2020 

    The 8th Annual Out for Health Conference will be hosted by McGovern Medical School from 7:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 23 via Cisco Webex.

    Out for Health is a medical conference founded and organized by students across all Texas medical schools in order to address the needs of the LGBTQIA+ population. The conference creates spaces for students, faculty, and community members to come together and discuss challenges faced by these patients. The event unites students and health professionals across disciplines to learn how to provide more inclusive health care.

    The theme of the 2021 conference is “intersectionality,” recognizing the marginalization of minority groups within the LGBTQIA+ community. By drawing parallels between the current Black Lives Matter movement and the queer liberation movement of the 1960s, and between the current COVID-19 pandemic and the AIDS epidemic, the conference strives to empower the healthcare field to identify and fight systemic discrimination on all levels.

    This year, Earl Fowlkes, chairman of the LGBT Caucus at the Democratic National Committee, will deliver the keynote speech titled “Out of the Shadows: The Intersectionality of Black LGBTQ+ Physical and Mental Health.”

    For more information, or to register for Out for Health 2021, visit the event’s website or contact [email protected].
