2. Participants will recognize and compare the history of the African American race to modern day outcomes and associate the epidemiology of Black American health
3. Participants will apply learned evidence-based strategies with African American healthcare leaders across the nation in order to continue improving the health of African Americans
4. Participants will explain how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is integrated into the healthcare field.
5. Participants will be able to identify the consequences of AI in healthcare on minority populations.
