Join us for an intimate conversation about racism in healthcare and medical education. In this presentation, we will learn more about Dr. Torabi’s encounters with racism as she progressed through her medical education, and later on as a physician. She will also discuss her call to action to make things right for the next generation. Together with Dr. Maria Hubinette, key terms will be discussed, such as: allyship, unconcious bias and microagressions. Dr. Sotindjo will open the conversation with a mindful meditation on our common humanity.
Through a random draw, 25 complimentary gift cards for lunch provided to confirmed attendees. Pick up to be arranged by organizers.
