Food Justice: From Classroom to Kitchen to Community
June 9, 2026
3-4 p.m. ET
Join AAMC CHARGE on June 9 for a conversation with Jaclyn Albin, MD, exploring how the future of medicine can begin in the kitchen and in the community. Albin’s work is reshaping medical education and health care through culinary medicine, demonstrating how nutrition and lifestyle interventions can prevent and treat chronic disease. From hands-on training for future physicians to innovative community-based programs, this webinar will highlight how meaningful change happens when health care extends beyond the clinic and into everyday life. Whether participants are clinicians, educators, or health advocates, this session will offer practical insights into making “food as medicine” a reality at the community level.
Community Engagement Stories Webinar Series
June 25, July 16, and Sept. 17, 2026
2 p.m. ET
When community members are actively engaged as collaborators in planning, implementing, and evaluating health initiatives, the insights and solutions that emerge are more relevant and sustainable. The result is real progress toward better health and well-being for all. Join us for a three-part series to share on-the-ground stories from collaborations for health between academic health systems and their communities.
