[hdr-ucr] [Please Share] UCR School of Medicine Structural Competency Conference Invite

[Catherine Banh]

Good afternoon,


On behalf of the planning committee for UCR School of Medicine's fourth annual Structural Competency Conference (SCC), we would like to invite you to attend:

How We Heal: Advocating for Environmental Justice in Medicine, on March 5 & 6, 2022

Registration is free at https://atu.cr/ucrscc22.


Why do health disparities persist? How can we address them at their roots? Structural Competency is the capacity to recognize and respond to health outcomes as the downstream effect of social, political, and economic structures. Our conference is open to the public and we invite health professionals, scholars, students, and community organizers to join us in learning new perspectives and developing skills for advocacy at the bedside and beyond.


This year’s conference brings together national experts, community organizers, health professionals, public policy professionals, and students to explore how environmental justice ties into medicine. We hope to strengthen our network and connect our community to the larger network supporting individuals whose wellbeing is directly affected by their environments. On Saturday March 5, the keynote speaker is Dr. Mary Hasbah Roessel, a Navajo (Diné) psychiatrist from Round Rock, AZ who is the first woman Navajo psychiatrist to provide Indian Health Service clinical care in New Mexico. On Sunday March 6, the keynote speaker is Andrea Vidaurre, the Co-Founder and Policy Lead of People's Collective for Environmental Justice in Riverside, CA.



If you are able to forward this invitation to students, faculty, or residents who may be interested, we would greatly appreciate your time in spreading the word. This event is open to the public and everyone is welcome.


A flyer with conference dates, times, and registration link is attached.



Thank you,
