Health Workforce Equity Summit

The Mullan Health Workforce Equity Summit is an annual event that convenes stakeholders, scholars, and the public on important and edgy topics relating to health disparities, equity, and the workforce. 

06.18.19 - Reproductive Health in Crisis? ​What Workforce Strategies are Needed?

Picture
This summit examined the landscape of reproductive health services and policies that threaten access to appropriate and comprehensive care in the United States. Representatives of various reproductive health institutions focused on pipeline and distribution issues, as well as, the challenges of recruitment and retention of providers. Frontline workforce perspectives included an overview of residency programs focused on the integration and enhancement of family planning in training; the legislative barriers and the importance of advocacy for reproductive rights in the workplace; and the consequences that restrictive policies have on population outcomes.
