In the 27th annual Reza Gandjei lecture, health equity and policy thought leader Alicia Fernandez will discuss the social drivers of health screening, as well as strategies for reducing health disparities, including via systems-level and community-based approaches. This topic has never been more relevant given the current political landscape.
This lecture series is in memory of Reza Gandjei, a UCSF medicine resident in the 1990s who passed away soon after training. Reza was a Marshall and Rhodes Scholar with a passion for healthcare ethics and policy.
