2007 Minority Health Conference
Building Bridges, Breaking Barriers
The 2007 Minority Health Conference addresses minority health
disparities and raises awareness of minority health issues in Southern
California. The event is organized by the USC and UCLA medical school
chapters of APAMSA, LMSA, MedGLO, SNMA, and now AMSA of USC, and
represents a joint effort to present Asian American, Latino, LGBT, and
African American health collectively as one voice. The unique
motivation behind this collaboration is to synergize the work of all
our organizations, which promote parallel causes for different
minority groups. Goals of the conference include educating students
and physicians on the critical issues behind minority health, and
providing a forum to discuss the barriers facing physicians and
patients in minority communities.
