These disparities ultimately result in death\, disability\, or limited engagement that leads to negative consequences in terms of financial stability\, work-force numbers\, care-giving\, availability of expertise and guidance\, with disproportionately higher rates in the African American and other minority communities. Greater awareness of the major issues surrounding stroke\, heart attack and other health disparities in these populations is needed\, as awareness is the first step in bringing about positive change. This conference will provide the evidence underlying stroke and other health disparities and will include a discussion of solutions to overcome the obstacles through lectures\, case presentations\, expert panels\, and patient panels led by a nationally renowned faculty. \nLearning Objectives\n\nCritically assess the outcomes of local and national efforts to eliminate stroke and other health disparities in minorities and ethnic groups.\nList challenges clinicians and patients/communities face that contribute to health disparities.\nDescribe the recent insights regarding social determinants of health and its impact on patient care.\nCritically assess the impact of optimizing the Doctor-Patient relationship on eliminating stroke and other health disparities.\nList the major areas where there are knowledge gaps in our understanding about stroke and other health disparities and identify interventions to mitigate these disparities.\n\nTarget Audience\nNeurologists\, Neurosurgeons\, Primary Care Providers\, Internal Medicine\, Critical Care\, Emergency Medicine\, OB/GYNs\, Urologists\, Cardiologists\, Interventional Radiologists\, Public Health Specialists\, Social Work Professionals\, and Medical School Faculty. \n  \n \n \n  \n\n\n Download Brochure URL:https://cheeer.org/event/health-disparities-2021-moving-forward-to-close-the-gap-in-minority-and-ethnic-populations/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cheeer.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/banner-new.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210407 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210408 DTSTAMP:20260506T221743 CREATED:20210403T024843Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210403T024843Z UID:6319-1617753600-1617839999@cheeer.org SUMMARY:Master of Public Health Events: Case Competition DESCRIPTION:The MPH Program is happy to announce that they have formed a collaboration with the Ohio State University College of Public Health to host a CWRU/OSU Case Competition in conjunction with National Public Health Week 2021.
