PROGRAM FORMAT

MOREHOUSE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE HIGHLIGHTS - POSTER PRESENTATIONS Morehouse School of Medicine faculty and staff will present clinical, basic science, research, education and training programs designed to eliminate health disparities.

PLENARY SESSIONS Federal, state, and local agencies and organizations have been invited to present overviews of their strategic and programmatic plans on eliminating health disparities, research and outcomes.

WORKING SESSIONS Attendees will participate in working sessions around topic areas presented during the Plenary Sessions. These interactive working groups have been designed to engage participants in discussions focused on the major lessons learned from integrated, multidisciplinary, research, and programs to include the community-based experience. This program model is developed to strengthen interdisciplinary collaborations among scientiﬁc, clinical and community based research populations. In addition, participants will engage in work sessions to assist in developing appropriate recommendations. The Working Session topic areas are as follows: Cancer Renal Disease Cardiovascular Disease Stroke Diabetes Undergraduate Student Engagement HIV/AIDS and other Infectious Diseases Utilizing Secondary Databases

COMMUNITY PHYSICIANS’ NETWORK The Morehouse School of Medicine Community Physicians’ Network will present an ofﬁcial satellite workshop, Saturday, April 16th, titled “Bridging Science and Practice from Cardiovascular Disease to Women’s Health.”

“THE DEBILITATOR” A viewing of an independent ﬁlm exploring the impact of diabetes and its complications through a tapestry of personalities and lifestyle choices followed by a panel discussion.

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Morehouse School of Medicine and its Center of Excellence on Health Disparities, welcome to our bi-annual symposium! This year’s symposium, “The Quest to Eliminate Health Disparities: Where Are We?” has brought together renowned leaders from federal, state, and local agencies and programs to present overviews of their strategic plans to address health disparities. Our goal is to unite key multidisciplinary players from across the nation who are engaged in the improvement of healthcare services for all Americans. With that in mind, the plenary sessions will be followed by workshops to engage participants in developing appropriate recommendations on the elimination of health disparities.

This symposium model is designed to intermingle presenters and participants who do not traditionally deliver and receive information from the same dissemination platform. It is our objective to migrate this information from bench to bedside to curbside in discussing strategies that have been most effective in improving access, behaviors, treatment, and outcomes.

Further, the Morehouse School of Medicine Community Physicians’ Network will present an exciting satellite workshop on Saturday,“Bridging Science and Practice from Cardiovascular Disease to Women’s Health.” The format of this workshop and the roster of nationally recognized faculty provide a unique opportunity for evaluation of current best practices in diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and depression, as well as the use of practice-speciﬁc strategies to ensure optimal patient outcomes.

We look to the future and seek new paths to further our mission to recruit and train minority and other students as health scientists and healthcare professionals. Our commitment to the primary healthcare needs of the underserved and our vision of modeling the elimination of disparities in health remains. We are hopeful that this symposium will offer you the strategies and plans to ensure the elimination of health disparities.

Sincerely,

The Center of Excellence on Health Disparities Symposium Planning committee

�� 35 ABOUT MOREHOUSE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

Historical Brief Founded in 1975 as The School of Medicine at Morehouse College, Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) became independent from Morehouse College in 1981. In 1983, MSM joined the Atlanta University Center, a consortium of six predominantly black institutions of higher learning. Today, MSM is a four-year medical school conferring the M.D., Ph.D. and master of public health (M.P.H.) degrees. MSM holds the maximum accreditation (seven years) by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education and full accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. MSM residency programs are fully accredited by the Accrediting Council on Graduate Medical Education.

Mission Statement Morehouse School of Medicine was established to recruit and train minorities and other students as physicians, biomedical scientists, and public health professionals committed to the health care needs of minorities and the underserved. ______

ACADEMICS • Admission to MSM is very competitive. MSM receives nearly 2,500 applications annually for 40 matriculants. • MSM’s class size will increase to 64 students by 2005. • MSM students perform very well on the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). Ninety-seven percent of fourth-year medical students passed the USMLE, STEP II exam during the 1999-2000 academic year.

RESEARCH • The MSM faculty excels in basic science research. Among the nation’s 125 medical schools, MSM ranks 81st in competitive research awards—ahead of almost a third of the medical schools in the country, all but two of which are older. Among Georgia’s four medical schools, MSM ranks number two in overall research support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). • Established in 1996, the MSM Neuroscience Institute is the ﬁrst research center devoted to neuroscience research and training at a predominantly African-American higher education institution. • MSM focuses its research on diseases and conditions that disproportionately affect African-Americans and other minorities. The Cardiovascular Research Center, for example, conducts investigations into heart disease and other cardiovascular disorders, with an emphasis on their impact on minority populations.

CLINICAL SERVICE • MSM has residency programs in Family Medicine, Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Internal Medicine, Psychiatry, General Surgery, and Obstetrics and Gynecology. • MSM residents serve in hospitals that address the health care needs of Atlanta’s underserved population.

ALUMNI • MSM graduates live our mission. Eighty-four percent are practicing in underserved communities. • On three national surveys in the 1990s, MSM has ranked number one among medical schools in the percentage of graduates in primary care practices on national surveys (Association of American Medical Colleges, 1993, and the American Medical Student Association, 1995 and 1999). • Seventy-ﬁve percent of M.D. graduates in 2000 entered primary care residencies (the average among all U.S. medical schools is 18 percent).

LEADERSHIP • The National Center for Primary Care at MSM opened in late 2002 as a national resource for education, research, and policy leadership in primary health care. • Annually, MSM sponsors educational conferences on women’s health care, HIV/AIDS, managed care, family practice and pediatrics. MSM also sponsors educational pipeline programs for young African-American students interested in health careers. • MSM training for community physicians through a series of faculty development workshops. MSM faculty members hold international leadership positions and are recognized spokespersons in their areas of expertise.

36 MOREHOUSE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE CENTER OF EXCELENCE ON HEALTH DISPARITIES

The Morehouse School of Medicine’s Center of Excellence on Health Disparities was formed in 2002 with funding from the National Center on Minority Health Disparities. Under the leadership of Dr. David Satcher, Director and former United States Surgeon General, the Center seeks to respond to MSM’s mission of recruiting and training minority and other students as physicians, biomedical scientists, and public health practitioners who are committed to research and the primary healthcare needs of the underserved.

Center Purpose Our vision is to be recognized as the leading national resource for the reduction and ultimate elimination of health disparities

Our mission is to develop transferable models for the elimination of health disparities while maintaining our shared values of integrity, respect for community and trustworthiness.

The Goals of the Center of Excellence on Health Disparities are: • to educate, motivate and mobilize the MSM community, its academic partners and the surrounding community(ies) toward activities focused on the elimination of disparities in health among different racial, ethnic and socio-economic groups; • to build the infrastructure within the MSM, its academic partners and its community partners to eliminate disparities in health; • to develop, expand and conduct multi-disciplinary research to better deﬁne the nature, magnitude and distribution of disparities, their determinants and interventions that work to prevent and ameliorate them; and • to evaluate strategies/programs for eliminating disparities in health in selected areas and with selected populations/communities.

Research Component Cores Cardiovascular Health & Stroke Prevention: Concentrating on surveillance, environmental determinants, access to care, lifestyle choices, and gene/environment interactions as they related to health disparities and cardiovascular disease. HIV/AIDS: Examining in detail the clinical complications related to HIV/AIDS in association with cultural- and gender-speciﬁc issues such as behavior, access to care and speciﬁc therapies. Cancer: Conducting cancer research that addresses racial and ethnic disparities in incidence and mortality, with a special focus on smoking and tobacco. Maternal Child Health: Researching the disturbing disparities and high impact of low-birth weight and asthma. Diabetes: Developing an extensive team of research scientists, physicians, and public health leaders to explore diabetes. Mental Health: Improving public awareness of mental health issues and developing and implementing depression screening programs.
