Training for Impact: How Medical Schools Shape Community and Global Health

Medical schools do more than educate future doctors. They are also engines of innovation and research and are on the front lines of community care. Learn from Dr. Charles Hong, Chair of Medicine at Michigan State University, how medical schools contribute to solving some of the world’s most pressing health challenges, from combating pandemics to advancing health equity. Join us for a look at how these institutions train the next generation of health leaders and improve lives both locally and worldwide.
