- Examine how to improve current disparities in health care associated with social determinants of health (SDOH) through interprofessional collaboration strategies, with a focus on disparities in cancer care for various racial and ethnic populations.
- Identify current and emerging treatments and updated management strategies for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus-related inflammatory conditions.
