Education

Just Equity for Health is committed to changing the types of conversations we have in medicine and healthcare delivery. Like all health care professionals, physicians often witness the terminal damage that societal inequities reap on our patients’ bodies.
Through Just Equity for Health, Dr. Safo is committed to helping to influence the conversations about medicine’s role in advocacy and in encouraging academic medical spaces to teach the principles of advocacy to students and trainees.

Her efforts here include working in curriculum design for social medicine in the Bronx New York and in various speaking and teaching engagements nationally. Dr. Safo also lectures on COVID-19’s impact on communities of color, and on HIV prevention and treatment.

Check out some of Dr. Safo’s work on social medicine curricula with Social Medicine Rounds at Montefiore’s Department of Family and Social Medicine.

Just Equity for Health is also committed to providing education and guidance that protects Black and women of color in medicine via an immersive workshop, Thriving in the Last Mile.

I would highly recommend Dr. Safo to colleagues in the future. She is compelling, kind, responsive and thoughtful in her presentations and handles the audience with care and respect.

Educator

We would certainly recommend Dr. Safo for future events. She is knowledgeable and speaks to her audience in a way that both captures attention and informs without making the audience feel confused about medical or science terms. She includes interesting and relevant examples from current events, science, and the sector her audience is in. She is also great at answering questions as they come in and adapting her content to meet the audience’s needs.
