Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Health Professions
Presented by Dr. Cheryl Brewster
Racial and ethnic diversity among health professionals has been shown to promote better access to healthcare and improved healthcare quality for underserved and vulnerable populations and to better meet the health needs of an increasingly diverse population. As we have witnessed during this pandemic these populations and communities are disproportionately impacted. If we are to successfully address the myriad health disparities found in the U.S., we must aggressively address the preparation and pathways by which underrepresented students can achieve their goals of a career in the health professions.
Objectives
Participants will:
- Gain a better understanding of the benefits of diversity and inclusion among health professions
- Have an increased awareness of healthcare outcome diversity statistics
- Learn actionable ways to increase diversity and inclusion in the health professions

The Value and Importance of the Arts in Healthcare
Presented by Dr. Marin Gillis
Dr. Marin Gillis will present an overview of the intrinsic and useful value of the arts in healthcare. From literature, writing, music, dance and painting, the arts serve a number of roles for patients and families, providers and students. Dr. Marin Gillis will offer how the arts make medical students into better doctors, using examples of a program Gillis started in Nevada in 2008 that is still running, how the arts have therapeutic benefits and can improve the quality of life for people living with dementia, and how the arts can promote health student, resident and provider wellbeing.
