Beyond the Page with Dr. Sohaila Jafarian

We’re back with another installment of Beyond the Page! This session features Dr. Sohaila Jafarian, discussing her chapter, The Value of Qualitative Research in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Together, we’ll explore how qualitative research can surface lived experiences, deepen understanding of inequities, and inform more responsive, effective approaches to care, education, and leadership.

Dr. Jafarian, a DVM/MPH and PhD candidate in Social Work at Colorado State University, brings a unique interdisciplinary lens shaped by her work in community and shelter medicine, veterinary social work, and community-based participatory research. Her work centers on the sociological, economic, and cultural factors that shape access to care and the human–animal bond, as well as the experiences of marginalized communities within veterinary medicine.

Dr. Jafarian’s article, part of Elsevier’s two-volume Veterinary Clinics: Small Animal Practice – DEI in Veterinary Medicine series, is made permanently open access by MCVMA through support from Maddie’s Fund®. This webinar will invite attendees to engage directly with the ideas shaping a more equitable future for veterinary medicine.

Join us for a thoughtful, interactive discussion that connects research to real-world application.
