Just Doctoring: “A Leadership Summit on the Future of Social Justice and Service in Medicine”

Saturday, October 6, 2007
8:00am – 5:00pm

Sponsored by The Medical Students of the Loyola University Chicago, Stritch School of Medicine (SSOM),
the Neiswanger Institute for Bioethics and Health Policy, and the SSOM Medical School Ministry

This program is designed primarily for medical students from the greater Chicago and upper Midwest areas who have demonstrated interest and leadership aptitude toward empowering the underserved and reforming the health-care system. Participants will engage in a daylong dialogue regarding the connection between health and social justice both domestically and abroad. This summit will serve to develop a network of student leaders in this region who are poised to address the social pathologies of disease both in policy and in everyday practice.

The day will consist of plenary addresses from national and international pioneers and breakout sessions to build advocacy skills and to increase awareness of particular issues.
