This two-day symposium will foster interdisciplinary collaboration among women’s health researchers, clinicians, and community members. The symposium will center the voices of historically marginalized women, integrating biomedical research with sociological frameworks to address systemic oppression in health care. Sessions will focus on understanding barriers to research and treatment, promoting innovative strategies, and forming action teams to advance health equity post-symposium.

Objectives

• Facilitate dialogue and collaboration among leaders in women’s health.
• Amplify the voices of women at the intersections of race, class, sexuality, and health.
• Develop a new framework for power-sharing in health care research.
