Insight, Innovation and Impact: Lecture 1
Race, Ethnicity, and Gender
Lessons for Culturally Appropriate Care Models for Depression
On March 25 & 26, FMHI inaugurated the "3 I's Series" with Dr. Lisa Cooper, who is a Professor from
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
and the
Bloomberg School of Public Health,
and a nationally
and internationally recognized physician and public health researcher whose scholarship focuses
on reducing health disparities and improving medical outcomes for minorities in the United States.
In 2007, Dr. Cooper was selected as a MacArthur Fellow or 'Genius' awardee, a prestigious program intended to encourage people of outstanding talent to pursue their own creative, and intellectual, and professional inclinations for the benefit of human society. Dr. Cooper will share her work identifying the crucial roles race, ethnicity, and gender play in the physician-patient relationship and on developing culturally appropriate models to improve care for depression. Given the growing population in the U.S. of ethnically diverse consumers, Cooper's analytical and clinical skills are key to enhancing the quality and delivery of medical care. Dr. Cooper is also a Liberian raised outside of the U.S. and brings a unique perspective to American medical care.
