Dr. LaVeist will discuss racial disparities in medicine and share insights from his extensive career dedicated to understanding the causes of health inequity and potential solutions. He is an award-winning research scientist and the author of six books, including “Minority Population and Health: An Introduction to Health Disparities in the United States,” the first textbook on health disparities. Dr. LaVeist is also the director and executive producer of “The Skin You’re In,” a documentary series about racial inequalities in health.
