Health Equity Advocacy Leadership Pathway (HEAL)
“Of all of the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane.”
— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The Health Equity Advocacy and Leadership Pathway (HEAL) is designed for students who are passionate about tackling social determinants of health, addressing health inequities, eliminating social injustices, and reducing disparities.
The mission of HEAL is to increase the number of physicians who are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and tools that are needed in order to effectively address social determinants of health. Students in HEAL will develop skills that will enable them to create innovative, community-driven and evidence-based solutions to health disparities through collaborative community partnerships.
