Synopsis

Going the Distance: The Making of a National Health Disparities Research Enterprise is a MUST READ for academics and students in public health policy, political science and health care administration college degree programs. Thirty years after the Heckler report brought national attention to the health disparities problem in 1985, the topic of health disparities has gained national and global attention among thought leaders in medicine, public health, biomedical research and public policy. This story chronicles the birth and evolution of the minority health and health disparities academic discipline and research agenda within the National Institutes of Health for the next generation of scholars, researchers and healthcare practitioners who must carry forth the torch to, one day, eliminate health disparities. EXPANDING COLLEGE COURSE OFFERINGS Dr. Ruffin is working with schools across the U.S. to create new research opportunities and develop new courses and degree programs for students to build on the continued work of the NIMHD.
