About

In the interest of advocating intersectionality in health professionals, students will attend educational lectures, volunteer opportunities, and interactive events that represent the interconnection of healthcare, gender equality, public policy, and law. This can and will include advocacy among the professions, organization and integration of educational programs, patient-based service work, and non-patient-based service work. Activities including patient-based service work will proceed with faculty supervision as mandated by the procedures for each school.
