SOM Native American Heritage Month Virtual Presentation: "Beyond Land Acknowledgement To A Culturally Responsive Medical Education”

Join the School of Medicine for this Keynote Presentation by Dr. Donald Warne, MD, MPH, Co-Director of the Johns Hopkins University Center for Indigenous Health. Dr. Warne is a family physician, integrated, holistic doctor, one of the world's pre-eminent scholars in Indigenous Health, Health Education, Policy, and Equity, and a member of the Oglala Lakota Tribe from Pine Ridge, South Dakota.
Dr. Warne comes from a long line of traditional healers and medicine men and is a celebrated researcher of Chronic Health Inequities. He created the first Indigenous-health-focused Master of Public Health and PhD Programs in the United States or Canada and is actively focused on establishing the first Indigenous-focused School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

Dr. Warne will guide us beyond the Land Acknowledgement that honors Indigenous histories toward a call to action to view policy history and the impact of marginalization based on policy, and will identify collectively some potential solutions how to better engage with Indigenous Populations and promote Health Equity and Health Policy reform for their communities.
