Dr. Enemchukwu is an infectious disease physician and implementation scientist and currently serves as Director of Population Health Initiatives, Director of Clinical Education, and Director of Viral Hepatitis and HIV-Clinical Care Coordination for the medical division of the NYC Health+Hospitals Correctional Health Services.
In this discussion, we will examine how working towards health equity advances social justice. We will use the HIV epidemic as a case study and explore how a history of structural inequality affects social determinants and results in disparate HIV-related health outcomes for many communities of color. Finally, we’ll discuss using implementation science and community engagement as tools to advance social justice in health.
