What are the most important factors in attracting a medical student body that reflects a diverse patient population? Hang out with experts, educators and physicians in training from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern time Oct. 20 to share your ideas and learn what others think.
Join the online Google Hangout to listen, watch and share ideas on:
- Innovative ideas to attract medical students from underrepresented groups
- New ways medical schools are preparing current students for an increasingly diverse patient population
- How institutions teach and collect feedback on racial and ethnic health care disparities
Panelists from the University of California Davis School of Medicine, Howard University College of Medicine and Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science will share their insights into developing a diverse student body that is prepared for tomorrow’s patient population. William McDade, MD, chair of the AMA Council on Medical Education and deputy provost for research and minority issues at the University of Chicago, will moderate the hangout.
