Discussing the impact of social identities such as race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation immigrant status, and disability in medical treatment is crucial, as it has an impact on how patients are respected and treated for their health conditions and concerns. Patients with these identities face various challenges in navigating the healthcare system, and receiving quality care.

SPACE IS LIMITED.  Advance registration is required.
