Pre-Health Research Journal Club Meeting

Agenda

1. Workshop on how to present a research article:

Students will receive a demonstration on how to analyze an article and convert it into simple terms to give a presentation on. There will be a walkthrough on how to develop an outline, analyze graphs, define terms, and how to prioritize information. We will be discussing a social science article in relation to racism within the U.S healthcare system. (Please see attached: Systemic Racism and US Healthcare)

2. Discussion: COVID-19 and Systemic Oppression Impact on Health

Will be covering the social science aspects in relation to healthcare and the disparities present; such as an analysis of the impact on COVID-19 and healthcare services being denied to those of socioeconomically disadvantaged and colored backgrounds/neighborhoods. The discussion will also center on other healthcare updates such as the recent Transgender Healthcare Protection reversal and what this can mean for LGBTQIA+ communities as a whole.

Please bring your ideas/concerns relating to these topics with you for our next meeting!
