Join us for a special presentation by Dr. Heather Weinreich, Assistant Professor, UIC  Department of Otolaryngology:

For faculty in academic health sciences, the balance between research, education, and patient care has been impeded by the COVID-19 pandemic. This presentation aims to illustrate the personal and professional characteristics of faculty here at UIC and for the audience to understand the impact of the pandemic and consequent policy implications.  This work is the result of a year-long collaboration between the UIC Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women’s Health (BIRCWH) scholars, the College of Medicine, and the Department of Sociology.
