The U.S. public health system has been under immense strain for a long time, with decades of underinvestment in the basic infrastructure of data, workforce, and research. These factors came to a critical head during the COVID pandemic.
During the closing plenary at AcademyHealth’s 2021 Annual Research meeting, panelists discussed the imperative to strengthen and reimagine public health, the importance of building and strengthening a diverse workforce, and what evidence we need to drive that transformation.
The panel was moderated by Dr. Eduardo Sanchez and featured panelists Dr. Shelley Hearne, Dr. Danny Avula, and Dr. Georges Benjamin. Watch the video below for highlights of the discussion.
