As we close the day of discussions, it is important to consider the role that each profession plays in their current iterations, and what are our responsibilities now and in the future to our profession and the people with whom we work. Building on the previous discussions of public health, transportation, and technology - and the scales at which allied professionals engage these topics - this closing session will investigate the state of the allied  professions,how our professions can examine and dismantle the disparities laid bare by Covid-19 and racial injustice, and how we need to shift our focus and evolve to address current and future challenges and crises.
