Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Health equity is now a core mission of internal medicine, with doctors seeking to decrease health disparities in access, quality, and outcomes of care. Socioeconomic status, race, gender, and geography have a major influence on patient health. Internal medicine providers are incorporating social determinants into diagnosis and treatment to combat these inequities.

Community outreach activities, policy mobilization, and culturally responsive models of care are bridging healthcare disparities. By promoting inclusiveness and ensuring access on an equitable basis, internal medicine reinforces its contribution to developing a fairer and more equitable healthcare system that benefits all population groups equitably.
