RCMI Symposium Presentations and Highlights

RCMI 12th International Symposium on Health Disparities

December 6-9, 2010
Nashville, TN

 

The Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) 12th International Symposium on Health, hosted by Meharry Medical College under the direction of Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice, provided an opportunity for more than 700 researchers, scientists and support personnel to meet and discuss effective solutions to eliminate the disparities in health facing our communities.

The theme of the symposium Bridging the Gap between Disparity and Equity: New Minds, New Methods was fitting and timely. The symposium provided an excellent forum for bringing together members of the community, researchers, health care providers, and health policy makers interested in establishing collaborations and partnerships that can ultimately lead to improved health outcomes for society.

Additionally, the RCMI program celebrated its 25th anniversary. Since 1985, the mission of the RCMI Program has been to expand the nation’s capacity for research in the health sciences. Over the course of twenty-five years, the National Center for Research Resources has funded 21 academic institutions, including 10 graduate schools, seven medical schools, three schools of pharmacy, and one school of veterinary medicine via the RCMI program. Currently, 18 institutions in 10 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico receive RCMI funding.

Select presentations and highlights from the four-day symposium have been captured and are available for viewing.
