For this Question of the Week feature we’re sharing a set of questions and answers from our AAMCNews team’s recent interview with Linda Villarosa, journalist and associate professor at City University of New York. Villarosa is the author of “Under the Skin: The Hidden Toll of Racism on American Lives and on the Health of Our Nation,” which tells the full story of racial health disparities in America by revealing the toll racism takes on individuals and public health.
Read the Q+A with Villarosa about her research and how academic medicine can foster change. You can also hear more from Villarosa at Learn Serve Lead 2022: The AAMC Annual Meeting in Nashville next month.
Did you know that more than 65% of the speakers at Learn Serve Lead 2022: The AAMC Annual Meeting are female. The women at Learn Serve Lead will inspire, educate, and incite positive change – you won’t want to miss this!
Are you planning on attending Learn Serve Lead? Let us know in the comments, so others can see who will be onsite this year!
