The Minnesota Health Equity Community of Practice (CoP) will host a virtual conversation about diversifying the physician workforce in Minnesota on September 12, from 2 to 3 pm. Having more physicians from backgrounds underrepresented in medicine is one way to advance health equity.
Speakers for the event include Nneka Sederstrom, PhD, chief health equity officer at Hennepin Healthcare, and Kit Brady, vice president people strategy at Gillette Children's. They will speak on innovative strategies to increase workforce diversification.
This virtual meeting is open to all physicians, health professionals, and leaders from Minnesota health systems, medical groups, and medical associations with an interest in health equity. To register, click here.
The CoP is a peer network dedicated to advancing health equity and addressing the significant racial and ethnic health disparities that persist throughout Minnesota. Health equity leaders and professionals come together quarterly to exchange expertise, network, and discuss issues and priorities. If you are interested in joining or learning more, please contact Haley Brickner, the MMA’s health equity coordinator.
