2021 Rhoades Lecturer Richard E. Smith, MD, FACOG
During the 2021 MSMS Foundation Spring Scientific Meeting, held virtually on May 20th, the Wayne County Medical Society Foundation was honored to host the 29th Annual Francis P. Rhoades, MD, Memorial Lecture. This year’s lecture was extra special as we welcomed former WCMSSM president and former MSMS president, Richard E. Smith, MD, FACOG, as the keynote lecturer.
Dr. Smith’s presentation, Yet with a Steady Beat - Pioneers in Michigan Medicine, focused on the important topic of health equity. The learning objectives of his talk included:
•
•
•
Describe how medical care through the Reconstruction Era and the 20th century explain possible contributing factors, to structural racism and social determinants of health care.
Describe three strategies to use in health care systems and large group practices to address health disparities and implicit bias.
Discuss the role of physicians in shaping public understanding, conversation, and public policy.
We are extremely grateful to Dr. Smith for sharing on this important topic! If you missed it and would like to view his presentation you may view it by visiting our website at: www.wcmssm.org
