Increasing Rural Physicians through Pathway Programs
Dr. Thomas Kincer
ETSU
According the AAMC about 11% of physicians practice in rural communities and about 77% of rural communities experience physician shortages. Pre-medical pathway programs are being developed to mentor more students from rural areas who want to go to medical school. Also, many medical schools have developed specialized training tracks in rural medicine. With these efforts about 40% of students from rural areas will practice in a rural area as compared to about 8% of their urban counterparts. This session will focus on pathway programs, how they work, successes, and challenges.

De-stigmatizing Sexually Transmitted Infections Testing and Treatment for LGBTQA+ Communities
Dr. Brice Thomas
Music City Prep Clinic
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a significant health issue for Tennessee young adults that can result in negative health outcomes. One out of every five people in the United States is estimated to have an STI, and Tennessee’s chlamydia and gonorrhea rates have been steadily increasing since 2014. While disparities in the prevalence of STIs range from demographics to sexual health education accessibility, sexual orientation is a significant contributing factor. Members of the LGBTQ+ community are more likely to participate in risky sexual behavior than cisgender heterosexuals such as having unprotected sex. However, the stigma of sexual orientation and sexual practices has led to a stigmatization that inhibits regular sexual health screening and use of prophylaxis such as PrEP. This session will present the components of the Music City PrEP Clinic (MCPC) experience, which encompasses four important pillars that are the strength of the organization: mission, purpose and vision; philosophy of service; prioritized service essentials; and a great experiences by design. The MCPC experience means world-class affordable sexual health care and wellness with attention to earning every patient's trust through safety, courtesy, showcraft and efficiency.

Representation Matters: Tools for Successful Community Engagement
Elizabeth Hart
TN Department of Health
Community engagement is an effective mechanism to address health equity and reduce health disparities. Engagement combined with storytelling can lead to lifestyle changes and help facilitate healthier neighborhoods. What is just as important is who is sitting at the table having these discussions, lending their knowledge and having the opportunity to tell their stories. The Office of Faith-Based and Community Engagement in the Division of Health Disparities Elimination at the Tennessee Department of Health has strategically created a pathway for community and faith organizations to be heavily involved with the work of public health through the Tennessee Health Disparities Task Force. The group consists of nearly 1,400 individuals who represent multiple age, ethnic, racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. In this session, attendees will learn just how to engage with diverse communities, how to reduce stigma through community engagement and how to both build and sustain partnerships.

Understanding the Public Health Exposome
Dr. Paul Juarez
Meharry Medical College
The public health exposome (PHE) comprises the totality of exposures over the life course, to conditions in the natural, built, social, and policy environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of personal health outcomes and population level disparities. Environmental exposures to chemical and social stressors across the life course affect personal risk for adverse health outcomes like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity as well as population level disparities. Just promoting knowledge, awareness, and healthy behaviors won't eliminate environmental risk factors and are unlikely to have a lasting effect on personal health or community level disparities. Instead, community and public health organizations need to work with partners in other sectors to address upstream factors like education, transportation, air pollution, and housing— factors usually unrelated to health care delivery—in order to realize lasting improvements in personal health outcomes and a reduction in community-level disparities.
Participants will:
