Unmet legal needs contribute to housing, income, and food insecurity, along with other conditions that harm health and drive health inequity. Addressing health injustice requires new tools for the next generations of lawyers, doctors, and other healthcare professionals. An interprofessional group of co-authors argue that law and medical schools and other university partners should develop and cultivate Academic Medical-Legal Partnerships (A-MLPs), which are uniquely positioned to leverage service, education, and research resources, to advance health justice.
未满足的法律需求导致住房、收入和粮食不安全,以及其他损害健康并加剧健康不平等的状况。解决健康不公问题需要为下一代律师、医生和其他医疗专业人员提供新工具。一个跨专业的共同作者团队认为,法学院、医学院和其他大学合作伙伴应发展和培育学术医疗-法律伙伴关系(A-MLPs),这些伙伴关系具有独特的优势,能够利用服务、教育和研究资源来促进健康公平。
