The Annual Haitian Health Confernce
The Haitian Health Conference, formally the Haitian Health Career Seminar, was initiated in 2001 by college and medical students concerned about the under-representation of Haitians in advanced health professions. The conference continues as an annual student-led event, drawing over one hundred health career oriented students and health care professionals each year. The attendees spend the day learning and reflecting on health problems that affect Haitians and health professionals from various disciplines as they share their experiences.
