Public Health Grand Rounds
Through this series, UR faculty, staff, students and community partners can hear about community-based initiatives to reduce health inequities, improve access to care and tackle some of our toughest health challenges. Public Health Grand Rounds (PHGR) are a collaborative effort between the Center for Community Health & Prevention and the Department of Public Health Sciences, and are intended to highlight the link between research, clinical medicine and community health improvement.
We look forward to providing Public Health Grand Rounds both virtually and in person on Fridays, from noon – 1 p.m. Details will be provided for each event in the box below.
Join us for lively discussions with some of Rochester’s community health champions, both URMC faculty and staff, as well as expert community leaders. Recordings for most sessions can be found below.
You can earn continuing education credits at PHGR! This activity is certified for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM and 1.0 nursing contact hours. Some sessions may also be approved for 1.0 Social Work continuing education hour(s). Accreditation certifications can be found on each flyer.
This seminar series is funded in part by the University of Rochester Clinical & Translational Science Institute via grant UL1 TR002001 from National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Additional financial support is provided by gifts to the Department of Public Health Sciences and an endowment to the Center for Community Health & Prevention by Brewster C. Doust, M.D. All support is greatly appreciated.
Join us for Public Health Grand Rounds at noon Friday, September 29. This will be a virtual event.
Martin Shapiro, MD, PhD, MPH, professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, will present "The Present Illness: American Health Care and Its Afflictions."
Pre-registration is required.
The problems of high costs, poor access, and bad outcomes in American health care are well-recognized, but efforts to address them through policy interventions have had limited success. Three phenomena - commodification of health care, education and science, consciousness (values, attitudes, expectations, perceived needs), and problematic communication - create an environment in which all of the groups of actors in health care inhibit needed changes because they feel that they have too much at stake in the current system. Achieving needed changes requires that we confront these phenomena to be able to create the health system we need.
