PHSAD's 35th Annual Health Equity Conference: Equity in Motion

Please join the Public Health Students of African Descent for our 35th Annual Health Equity Conference "Equity in Motion!"

To celebrate 35 years, PHSAD Alumni are welcomed back and highlighted as our keynote and panelists. Attendees will learn about health inequities present in healthcare, health behaviors, political spaces, biostatistics, epidemiological sciences, and nutritional sciences. Participants will also learn about the action taking place to combat those injustices as our alumni will share their own experiences from their diverse career paths. 

In addition, the second day of the conference will be an inaugural case challenge to engage attendees with a didactic opportunity of engagement and competition.
