UAA Echo: Health Equity Grand Rounds

The Alaska Black Caucus and UAA Center for Human Development ECHO Project present Health Equity Grand Rounds: a six-part ECHO series exploring racism in medicine, health equity, and COVID-19 in Alaska.

Each 90-minute session will be an opportunity to explore clinical skills and best practices critical to Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color, in an interactive forum guided by expert speakers and clinicians. The target audience for the series includes the interdisciplinary healthcare team, administrators, leaders, allied health professionals, and health professions trainees in Alaska.
