Introduction
The 2005 Minority
Health Conference at UCLA addresses minority health disparities and
raises awareness of minority health issues in
Southern California.
The event is organized by the UCLA, Drew, and USC medical school chapters of
APAMSA, LMSA, MedGLO and SNMA, and is a joint effort to present Asian
American, Latino, LGBT, and African American health collectively as
one voice. The unique motivation behind this collaboration is to
synergize the work of our minority organizations, all of which promote
parallel causes for different ethnic groups. Goals of the conference
include educating students and physicians on the critical issues
behind minority health, and providing a forum to discuss the barriers
facing physicians and patients in minority communities.
