Health Disparities Lecture Series

The Health Disparities Lecture Series is co-sponsored by the Center to Eliminate Health Disparities and the Center for Population Health and Health Disparities, led by Dr. James Goodwin.

The purpose of the lecture series is to provide opportunities for UTMB faculty, students, and staff to gain knowledge related to health disparities and to learn different perspectives related to health disparities issues affecting Americans today.  The lectures are intended to bring individuals of international importance to UTMB to discuss various aspects of health disparities.  Typically these lectures are held several times throughout the year.

Currently there are no lectures scheduled, but you may access information regarding past lectures using the links on the left of this page.
