Emergency Preparedness, Ethics and Equity Series – Scholarship through adversity: First-generation student experiences, challenges and insights during COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic — and our response to this disease — have underscored deep, persistent societal inequities. The Emergency Preparedness, Ethics and Equity Series will explore how we can continue to foster inclusive excellence and health equity during the most turbulent of times. Speakers will explore ways to consistently apply culturally relevant, ethical and equitable decision-making so that the most vulnerable among us are not left further disenfranchised post-COVID-19.
