Director: Dr. Sonjia Kenya
Description: The pathway is focused on developing skills to achieve health equity among all populations through innovative, nontraditional approaches. Learners will be introduced to health disparities in Miami-Dade, community-based strategies to deliver patient care, and cutting-edge approaches to address sexual health among vulnerable populations, including racial and sexual minorities (LGBTQ +). As Miami-Dade County is an epicenter for HIV and other sexual health issues, participants will be exposed to current initiatives to improve sexual health outcomes and patient-centered sexual health care delivery strategies for the County’s most vulnerable populations.
All pathway sessions incorporate discussions involving various dynamics that impact health disparities, including the social determinants of health, delivering care in resource-poor settings, minority and immigrant health, health and development economics, gender equity, health as a human right, and other socio-cultural influences on health outcomes. The program includes didactic coursework, both required and elective; experiential learning; and self-learning activities, both conventional and web-based.
