Social Medicine Consortium

Over 300 leaders in global health equity have gathered in Churchrock, New Mexico. We're excited to learn, build, and liberate with you! #SocialMedicineConsortium #SocMed2018

To the tune of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song," the conference concludes! The global network of chapters has launched to kickoff the Campaign Against Racism, and we're humbled to liberate with such passionate forces for equity. Thank you and onward! #SocialMedicineConsortium
