Using Narrative to Enhance Clinical Care in Underserved, Rural, and Global Health
April 28-30, 2022
3rd Annual Utah Inter-professional Symposium for Underserved, Rural, and Global Health Education (SURGE)
THANK YOU!
We hope you enjoyed the content provided to elevate the voices of diverse speakers from rural and tribal communities along with experts in global and rural medical education in the Intermountain West. And that you were able to engage with our symposium's narrative-oriented theme to focus on how we can improve clinical care with arts-based strategies in medical education.
Our keynote speaker Dr. Deepu Gowda, the Assistant Dean for Medical Education at Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine provided a powerful and impactful talk that set the tone for all of us to explore how to connect with each other and our patients on a human level. And, importantly how that connection and narrative can be used in healthcare and medical education to promote social justice and the pursuit of health equity.
Please explore the videos and content from this year's panels and presentations. We would love for you to share this content with others, and look forward to hearing how you have been able to use SURGE to improve education in underserved, rural and global health.
