About

The UNC School of Medicine, UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health and UNC Center for Health Equity Research are hosting the Inaugural Paul A. Godley Health Equity Symposium on March 5, 2020 to bring together faculty, staff, students, and the community to highlight and encourage health equity research, promote collaboration and networking; and encourage strategic planning and partnerships at the UNC School of Medicine.

This conference is named in honor of the late Dr. Paul A. Godley, Rush S. Dickson Professor of Hematology/Oncology at the UNC Department of Medicine and Vice Dean for Diversity and Inclusion at the School of Medicine. Dr. Godley directed the program on Ethnicity, Culture, and Health Outcomes (ECHO) from its inception in 2001. His research and leadership sought to identify, understand, and eliminate racial health disparities.

We have a full agenda of engaging speakers and vibrant panel discussions, as well as collaboration and networking opportunities to promote and highlight health equity research. It is our hope that this day captures the spirit and legacy of Dr. Godley's health equity work and his impact on the lives of his patients, colleagues, family, and friends. Thank you for being a part of our inaugural event.
