The Health Equity & Social Justice Discussion Club has been expanded from its original format to now include critical social justice issues that fall outside of the focus of race. The new discussion club will alternate between traditional books and a curated collection of virtual content.
This club is a safe and respectful virtual space to discuss important literature on topics of social justice and health equity all from the comfort of your home or office. Guided conversations will provide unique opportunities for insightful reflection and open minded sharing with your peers. Each session will take place via Zoom under the guidance of a physician moderator.
Registration is free and open to all Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) members as a benefit of membership.
