Education News
[cid:image027.jpg at 01D8AE66.B650DE80]Former IM resident Dr. Anisha Ganguly joined Collective Conversations<https://bit.ly/3zP42lS> to discuss the Health Systems Pathway within the UW Internal Medicine Residency Program and her path to becoming a Health Equity Fellow. While in the Health Systems Pathway, her main focus centered around targeting systemic racism. She says she is most passionate about institutional advocacy, state-level policies, and equitable delivery across states even up to the federal level. "The patient populations I am most passionate about serving are those who are uninsured or underinsured," she said. "And increasing access to care to folks who feel like they can't get the care that they need, whether that's because of the color of their skin or because of their country of origin."

Collective Conversations is a series of discussions aimed at highlighting people and groups working to improve health through better health care systems.

Providing primary care and mental health services to Seattle's refugee and immigrant communities

Research news
Impact of social determinants of health on risks and outcomes
[cid:image030.jpg at 01D8AE66.B650DE80]It is widely recognized that health disparities are largely influenced by social determinants. Social determinants of health are the structural determinants and conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age that affect health, functioning, and quality of life.

The American Heart Association, the leading voluntary organization devoted to longer, healthier lives for all, has awarded a $675,000 medical research grant to Dr. Greg Roth, associate professor (Cardiology) to evaluate how cardiovascular health risks and outcomes are impacted by social determinants of health, focusing on evaluation of the Association's Social Impact Fund.

Roth will lead the project "Cardiovascular Health Metrics for Community-based Programs - Framework for Evaluation of the American Heart Association Social Impact Fund," which will receive $225,000 per year over three years.
