The Berkeley Center for Social Medicine and the California Nurses Association are hosting two events next week with Dr. Jaime Breilh, renowned Ecuadorian scientist in the fields of collective health and critical epidemiology as well as senior member of the Ecuadorian Academy of Medicine. The announcement for those events is below and the flyer is attached.
In addition, we have reserved the Anthropology faculty lounge (Kroeber Hall, 2nd floor next to Gifford Room) next Wednesday April 18th at 3pm for graduate students to be able to meet and talk with Dr. Breilh.
A Gaze from the South: Latin America’s Struggle for Health Justice
For nearly a century, Latin American health practitioners have led the development of innovative responses to social inequalities. Emphasizing “praxis” — the combination of social theory and political practice — adherents of Latin American Social Medicine (LASM) have participated in many of the region’s social justice movements. Salvador Allende, a pathologist and late president of Chile, played a key role in establishing the field with his path-breaking epidemiological work. This served as the foundation for his presidency until his death in the country’s 1973 U.S.-supported military coup d’eìtat. While LASM is a widely respected field internationally, its accomplishments remain little-known in the English-speaking world.
Please join us for two events exploring LASM’s history and current manifestations, featuring Dr. Jaime Breilh, a leading Ecuadorian scientist in the fields of collective health and critical epidemiology, and a senior member of the Ecuadorian Academy of Medicine.

Sex Positivity: Supporting Patients with an Inclusive Sexual Health Framework Lee L. Lemus and Brenly Rowland, MD/MS candidates, UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program & UCSF PRIME
Join sex educators Lee Lemus and Brenly Rowland for an interactive skills building session that will introduce the concept of Sex Positivity, a framework that promotes inclusivity and destigmatizes the diversity of human sexual experience. Sex Positivity allows us to communicate with clients and patients while supporting and creating a safe space for all sexual identities and practices. Join us for a deeper dive into sex positive skills and attitudes that will help us build inclusive and engaged interactions, toward whole-patient health for all.
