Health Disparities: A Time for Action
A series of innovative and timely pre-conference sessions, targeting the needs of students and emerging scientists, will be held prior to the formal conference. This conference is designed to attract professionals from the health, social sciences and public policy fields. In particular, we are interested in promoting interdisciplinary, cross jurisdictional conversations across the globe to tackle challenging and complex problems.
