During the conference series, invited expert discussants from within Yale and beyond have been weighing in on complex clinical cases involving Black youth presented by YCSC trainees. The series is interactive, and attendees engage in a roundtable discussion. Dinner is provided, and registration is required for each session.
Local participants are strongly encouraged to attend in person, though a virtual option will be made available.
Directed by YCSC Chief Resident and Child Psychiatry Fellow Amanda J. Calhoun, MD, MPH, under the advisement of YCSC Research Scientist Mark Beitel, PhD, the series has also been co-endorsed by YCSC Chair Linda Mayes, MD; YCSC Vice Chair for Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Tara Davila; and Darin Latimore, MD, who serves as the deputy dean for diversity and inclusion and chief diversity officer at Yale School of Medicine.
The series is supported by funding from the YCSC Viola W. Bernard Social Justice and Health Equity Fellowship, the Yale School of Medicine Office of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, and the AMA – SHLI Medical Justice in Advocacy Fellowship Program.
