This panel will present ideas about how to address the intersection of race, poverty, gender and economic inequality in the health law curriculum. A large and growing literature now addresses the impact of race, poverty, gender, and economic inequality on health care outcomes, and the marginalization of low-income health care workers, outside of elite professional ranks. Yet, these topics are rarely considered systematically as part of the health care curriculum, if they are considered at all. This panel will consider strategies for how to introduce the topics and integrate them into health law pedagogy.
