Developing DEI Initiatives in Higher Learning

Off the Charts: Examining the Health Equity Emergency

Community Health MPact is a course in which students examine causes of and potential solutions to health inequities impacting urban communities in Minnesota. Urbanization can bring social and economic benefits, but structural inequities in these areas are the key contributors to health inequities which most often harm Black communities and communities of color.

Dr. Priya Sury, a HealthPartners emergency medicine physician at Hudson Hospital in Hudson, Wisconsin, and assistant professor and course director for urban community health at the University of Minnesota Medical School, shares how she was inspired to create the course she wanted when she was a medical student.

Hosts: Kari Haley, MD, and Steven Jackson, MD
