Mark your calendars for the next RHIG Zoom speaker event on Wednesday, December 6, from 12:00 – 1:00pm. We’ll be hearing from Dr. Mary Owen, the Director of the University of Minnesota Duluth’s Center for Native American and Minority Health.

Dr. Owen is a member of the Tlingit nation. Her work includes developing and managing programs to increase the numbers of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students entering medical careers, outreach to local and national Native leaders to ensure the University of Minnesota Medical School remains in tune with AIAN health care and education needs, developing an AIAN track for all students interested in providing healthcare to AIAN communities, and developing research efforts to address AIAN health disparities.
