Good Afternoon All,
I hope you are well. The Confronting Flexner Speaker Series is back for 2023 and our next session will be JANUARY 25, 2023 at 12:00PM CST
Topic: "INEQUALITY BY DESIGN: WHY WE NEED MORE DIVERSE STEM PROFESSIONALS IN HEALTHCARE AND MEDICINE"
Abstract: In a world ridden with health disparities and social inequities, the scholarship and innovation of Black women will help establish healthcare and research institutions that adequately serve all members of society. Nowhere is this more critically important than in medicine today, because the past two years have shown us that access to proper healthcare is not available to everyone. This includes creating innovative and cost-effective solutions to problems that are effective for the whole society, not just those traditionally represented.
Presenter: Erika Jefferson, MBA, President & Founder, Black Women in Science and Engineering (BWISE)
