“Misinformation and Mistrust:
COVID-19 Conversations on Race and Gender Equity”

The goal of the session was to consider how the issue of mistrust of the medical care system helps to provide the context for misinformation to thrive, and to look inward at how we might better earn the trust of patients, faculty, students, staff and community members.

The keynote featured Dr. Julius Wilder, a liver transplant physician who also has a Ph.D. in Sociology. He brought us up-to-date information on the health effects of COVID-19, given how much focus there is on mortality.

The two panel sessions, after the keynote, was a discussion with community panelists.
