ASH Poster Walk on Health Equity in Hematology

Program: ASH Poster Walks
Hematology Disease Topics & Pathways:
Clinical Practice (Health Services and Quality), Workforce, Education, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
Wednesday, December 11, 2024: 5:00 PM-6:00 PM
(Virtual Program)
This Poster Walk will highlight works that investigate structural barriers impacting provision of care across hematology for patients from underserved racial/ ethnic groups, those of lower socio-economic status, and other vulnerable groups. In particular, the walk will spotlight research (featured in the posters) that advances efforts to diversify patient populations, mitigate barriers to care, and maximize the equitable provision of optimal care for patients from vulnerable populations. The walk will also feature posters outlining work being done to make our field more inclusive for patients, donors, and caregivers, as well as for practitioners across the hematology workforce. It will serve to connect stakeholders in health equity in hematology and facilitate discussions on the state of health equity research in the field. 

Join us for this virtual Poster Walk session.
