Program Information

This live event occurred on May 17, 2023. This activity includes the recorded sessions.

The Weitzman Institute Virtual Symposium provided a unique opportunity to hear from some of the nation’s top thought leaders, researchers, clinicians, and entrepreneurs who are leading efforts in the Institute’s key priority areas: Social Determinants of Health, Health Systems Transformation, and Workforce Development.

This year’s Symposium theme, “Tackling Old Problems with New Solutions in Primary Care,” recognizes that pressing issues that have recently garnered increasing attention, including mental health, community violence and trauma, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and big data, are longstanding, wicked challenges that require trans-disciplinary, patient- and community-affirming approaches to drive positive and sustainable change.

• Keynote I - Community Violence, Trauma, and Racial Healing (1.25 credits)
• Panel I - Exploring the Hard DEI Questions in Primary Care Policy, Research, and Clinical Practice (1 credit)
• Keynote II - Mental Health Equity, Primary Care, and the Built Environment (1 credit)
