Hispanic Heritage/Latino Heritage Month Keynote & Festival
Join us as we unpack Health Equity through Labor Justice, healthcare equity and health provider equity are also key parts of racial justice. Labor is an important issue among medical students, residents, clinicians, and faculty. With a high burnout rate, medical workers are overworked, underpaid, and fearful of retaliation by supervisors. According to the AAMC and the NIH, Latina healthcare workers, residents, physicians, specialists, and faculty working full-time, year-round, are typically paid 25-33% less than white, non-Hispanic men, and faculty are underrepresented at all faculty ranks.
We will explore how to move Hispanic health equity from policy to practice with this Keynote presentation and Fiesta celebration on October 2, noon-2pm, at the Wolstein Research Building Auditorium.
