COVID-19 and Health Care Disparities

During times of crisis and uncertainty, it can be difficult and overwhelming to sort fact from fiction. In response, physicians at UC San Diego Health have launched the COVID-19 Virtual Grand Rounds Series, a six-part live video symposium that will focus on topics related to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Part Six — COVID-19 and Health Care Disparities (Aug. 26, 2020): In the final video for the Virtual COVID-19 Grand Rounds Series, two of the nation’s leading physicians in clinical research discuss health care disparities by race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status across our nation, and how the pandemic plays a role.
