style="white-space:pre-wrap;">ElevateMeD exists to promote physician workforce diversity as a tangible step in the eradication of health disparities. Native communities, while rich in history and contribution, are disproportionately impacted by inequities related to health and access to healthcare. On November 7th, Dr. Aaron Bia moderated and led a conversation with Dr. Blair Matheson, Dr. Jennifer Erdrich, and Dr. Megan Corn on the opportunities for impact and change ranging from workforce to disease management as we seek to promote health equity for Native and Indigenous communities.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Through this important conversation, we hope that you are more aware of the array of health inequities that plague our Native/Indigenous communities along with the challenges endured being underrepresented in the physician workforce. ElevateMeD will continue to promote health equity through raising awareness of the challenges faced and the gaps we are actively filling.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">To learn more and join ElevateMeD in addressing health disparities, visit <a href="https://www.elevatemed.org/friends"><span style="text-decoration:underline">elevatemed.org/friends</span></a>.</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">MODERATOR</h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Dr. Aaron Bia</strong>, Family Medicine physician at Navajo Indian Health Service and 2020-21 ElevateMeD Scholar</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">PANELISTS</h3><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Dr. Blair Matheson</strong>, Trauma Surgeon and President at Association of American Indian Physicians</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Dr. Jennifer Erdrich</strong>, Surgical Oncologist at University of Arizona</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Dr. Megan Corn</strong>, resident OB/GYN physician at Stanford University and 2022-24 ElevateMeD Scholar</p></li></ul> </div> </div></div></div></div><div class="sqs-block spacer-block sqs-block-spacer sized vsize-1" data-aspect-ratio="2.156862745098039" data-block-type="21" id="block-e5bcdf911af816e8b65f"><div class="sqs-block-content"> </div></div><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image" data-block-type="5" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1730925101249_7387"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure image-block-outer-wrapper image-block-v2 design-layout-card combination-animation-none individual-animation-none individual-text-animation-none image-position-right " data-scrolled data-test="image-block-v2-outer-wrapper" > <div class="intrinsic"> <div class=" image-inset" data-animation-role="image" data-description="" > <div class="sqs-image-shape-container-element content-fit " style=" position: relative;
