Prehealth is pleased to bring you Part 3 of our series on Culturally Competent Patient Care. We are inviting students, faculty, and staff to spend an hour with us learning, talking, discussing, and reflecting on the ways that power and privilege can shape one's experiences as a student, care provider, community member or person seeking health care services. In this workshop, we will take a health care lens to exploring the impacts of systems of oppression and privilege, such as race, class, gender, ability, sexuality. There will be discussion, a panel, and time for reflection.

There are even more events coming in April & May so I encourage you to like our MIT Prehealth Advising facebook page and keep a look out for further emails later in the semester!

Best,
Meaghan
