Redesigning healthcare towards equity

Facilitated by faculty discussant Abdul El-Sayed, a Towsley Foundation Policymaker in Residence at the Ford School, this session focuses on health equity, why it matters, and the role of policy in creating equitable outcomes.

About the Public Policy and Institutional Discrimination series

The series, open to U-M students, faculty, and staff, is designed to foster dialogue on important issues of U.S. public policy. Sessions are facilitated by faculty discussants. This is an opportunity for students to hear from faculty outside of the classroom. Students are encouraged, though not required, to attend as many sessions as possible.
