Doctoring
A
Leadership Summit on the Future of Social Justice and Service in Medicine
Sponsored by
The Medical Students of the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of
Medicine (SSOM),
the Neiswanger Institute for Bioethics and Health Policy, and the SSOM
Medical School Ministry
Saturday, October 6, 2007
This program was designed
primarily for medical students from the greater Chicago and upper Midwest
areas who have demonstrated interest and leadership aptitude toward
empowering the underserved and reforming the health-care system.
Participants engaged in a daylong dialogue regarding the connection
between health and social justice both domestically and abroad. This summit served to develop a network of student leaders in this region who are
poised to address the social pathologies of disease both in policy and in
everyday practice.
The day consisted of
plenary addresses from national and international pioneers and breakout
sessions to build advocacy skills or to increase awareness of particular
issues.
