"Operationalizing Research to Improve Health Inequities: The Collective Power of One Northwestern"
by Melissa Simon, George H. Gardner, MD, Professor of Clinical Gynecology, Vice Chair of Clinical Research, Director of the Center for Health Equity Transformation, and IPR Associate
Abstract: In this talk, Simon will discuss some basics on the current state of health equity and pull in her own body of work in Chicago that intersects scientific rigor with policy creation and community partnership and action. Simon will discuss how we as an entire University can leverage the depth and breadth of talent to scale impact on improving health equity via better integrating and operationalizing our collective scholarship.
