Hi All,

On Monday, November 9th, 2020 at 7pm, we have the chance to virtually listen to Dr. Patrice Harris, a psychiatrist from Atlanta, was the 174th president of the American Medical Association (AMA), and the organization’s first African-American woman to hold this position. The AMA is the largest association of physicians in the United States.

For AMA speakers, we need to let them know questions we want to ask ahead of time:

Dr. Harris traveled widely and has popped up frequently on TV news, sought out to contribute the AMA’s viewpoint on pressing issues such as the shortage of personal protective equipment and the importance of reopening in the safest way possible.

As the AMA’s first African American woman president, she also has added her sharp insights on the alarming health inequities of the pandemic and police brutality in communities of color.
