Gun violence is the number one killer of children in the United States. Therefore, a public health approach is the most effective way to decrease the number of people dying from guns, particularly when we start thinking about preventing suicide and community shootings.
Participants from multiple medical schools across the nation will hear from medical and trauma experts, government officials, medical students and, most importantly, from each other. A major focus of the conference is advocacy — including how physicians and students can best explain public health solutions to policymakers.
Representatives from the University at Buffalo, Michigan State University, and invited national speakers and experts — along with community members — will discuss gun violence through a public health lens.
In remembrance of those affected by gun violence, we aim to honor their memory through meaningful dialogue and action.
