During these quarterly dinners, residents, faculty, and clinic staff come together to explore cultures and health traditions represented in the Denver population and particularly at the Lowry clinic.
Speakers include patient navigators and other employees at Denver Health from countries represented in the patient population; speakers share about their community’s culture in general and in relation to healthcare. Past talks have focused on the Karen community, Somali community, and Iraqi refugee community.
In addition to these optional dinner talks, global health and refugee health topics are incorporated into the regular didactic schedule and residents, faculty, and staff attendees regularly participate in the annual North American Refugee Health Conference.
