Equity Amplified: Uniting Toward Social Mission Transformation

The Social Mission Alliance (SMA) Conference is an opportunity for clinical educators, administrators, clinicians, trainees, and students to engage on top issues related to health equity and social justice through health professions education. Together, we will discuss topics such as the social determinants of health, community engagement, reducing inequities, workforce diversity, and value-based health care.

If your hope is to learn from top health equity experts, share and discuss solutions for advancing health equity, and engage in networking – you won’t want to miss this opportunity!
