We Dissent: Ensuring equity in public health education

The persistent underrepresentation of individuals from populations that have suffered from discrimination and racism in health education, postgraduate training and practice remains a blight on our nation. This session at the 2023 Annual Meeting and Expo explored the impact of the Supreme Court decision that undermines race conscious admission decisions in higher education that were designed to reverse years of inequities. The panel also explored the way forward to ensure qualified individuals from underrepresented populations continue to have the opportunity to obtain high quality health education and reverse this national tragedy.
