7th Annual MCHRI Symposium
Thursday, October 24, 2024
Li Ka Shing Center, Berg Hall, 2nd Floor
This annual research symposium brought together faculty, trainees, students, and postdocs to explore the latest developments and innovations in maternal and child health research.
This year’s symposium focuses on issues in medical communication and community trust, and future issues and methodologies to measure and evaluate medical information communication. Despite the pace of current medical advances, trust in medical science and institutions has reached a crossroads due to sheer volume of available validated and non-validated information and the rhetoric and polarization surrounding communication that blurs the distinction between the two (Leonard 2021). In addition, concerns regarding conflict of interest, scientific misconduct, and patient privacy have eroded patient trust in validated information.
This event was free and open to all.
