UTGSM launched the Health Disparities Awareness month in January of 2022. Since then, we have successfully hosted two educational series bringing together opportunities for resident learners, faculty, and staff to engage in topics related to community engagement, equity, disparities, and population health. Our hope is to enhance regional and national focus on health inequities while increasing the knowledge and awareness of the differences in health outcomes among groups in Eastern Tennessee.
Due to the success of the last two years, our planning team has created the Health Equity Awareness and Research Series (HEARS) to provide even more opportunities for stakeholders to engage with these topics. HEARS sessions will be held virtually on Zoom, between Fall 2023 and Spring 2024.
