Introduction

The 2003 Minority Health Conference at UCLA addresses minority health disparities and raises awareness of minority health issues in Southern California.  The event is organized by the UCLA and USC medical school chapters of APAMSA, LMSA, and SNMA, and is a joint effort to present Asian-American, Latino, and African-American health collectively as one voice.  The unique motivation behind this collaboration is to synergize the work of our three minority organizations, all of which promote parallel causes for different ethnic groups.  Goals of the conference include educating students and physicians on the critical issues behind minority health, and providing a forum to discuss the barriers facing physicians and patients in minority communities.
