This Lightning Talk will review a newly developed educational tool called Figment Mentor under development at MUSC.

As learners advance beyond foundational competencies toward culturally responsive and community-driven care, integrating practitioner perspectives becomes essential, particularly when in-person experiences are logistically challenging. This lightening talk shares findings from a social determinants of health (…

Therefore, migraine is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. Similarly, cluster headache, aka suicide…
