Primary Care, Social Justice, and Advocacy: What is my role?

This workshop will feature faculty keynote speakers on primary care, social justice and advocacy. In addition to the keynote presentations, residents from UCSF and family medicine affiliated residency programs will participate in a panel to discuss work that is being done in social justice and advocacy at their residency sites.
