12th Annual Diversity, Inclusion, & Health Equity Symposium

The 12th Annual Diversity, Inclusion, & Health Equity Symposium is one of the country’s leading and longest-running events focusing specifically on health equity, health disparities, and critical diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues impacting healthcare in the U.S. The Symposium features panel discussions, keynote addresses, a case competition, and a career fair in a 3-day hybrid format. Focusing on the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in the marketplace and workplace, the Symposium convenes key opinion leaders and participants in a collaborative forum to discuss health equity and DEI. The Symposium brings together leading healthcare executives, physicians, researchers, patient groups, students, academics, clinical trial professionals, and DEI advocates to consider new ideas and perspectives on (1) community engagement and diversifying clinical trials, (2) new and existing challenges to health equity and DEI in the United States, and (3) reducing systemic health disparities that disproportionately affect communities of color and other underserved groups. The Symposium also features CHI’s Health Equity Challenge, a case competition, and CHI’s Virtual Diversity Career Fair, which connects participants with many of the country’s leading healthcare organizations, specifically focusing on hiring underrepresented talent. Participants will learn the latest insights and industry-tested solutions, share new ideas and perspectives, network, and meet new colleagues while working to create a more equitable healthcare landscape for all communities.
