Black Maternal and Infant Health Symposium
The symposium brings together a diverse group of healthcare providers, advocacy groups, social workers, and mental health professionals to address critical issues in Black maternal and infant health. Healthcare providers, including obstetricians, midwives, nurses, and pediatricians, will focus on understanding implicit bias in clinical care, improving communication with Black mothers, and learning best practices to prevent complications like preeclampsia and reduce maternal and infant mortality rates that disproportionately affect Black communities. Advocacy groups and nonprofits will share innovative programs, network, and engage in efforts to push for policy changes to improve health equity. Social workers and community health workers will gain insights into the specific challenges faced by Black families in accessing healthcare and services, as well as strategies for addressing mental health concerns, trauma, and support networks. Mental health professionals will explore how racial trauma, healthcare discrimination, and societal pressures contribute to mental health challenges in Black mothers and families, providing a comprehensive approach to addressing these critical issues.

University of Louisville Spring Dermatology Meeting 2025
This year the focus of our course is on Complex Medical Dermatology. The meeting will begin with patient viewing focusing on patients with skin manifestations of systemic disease [some of the presentations will likely be posters when the live patients are not able to attend in person]. After a short break, we will begin with presentations by our residents of cases of the year. Following the resident presentations, we will discuss the patients who were presented. Our Visiting Professor will be asked to comment on each case as well. The case discussion will be followed by a lecture delivered by our visiting professor, Kanade Shinkai, MD, PhD Professor of Dermatology, University of California San Francisco.
