AcademyHealth DIME has asked Dr. Honoré to reflect specifically on her contributions since 2003, current experiences at the LSU Health Sciences Center School of Public Health and School of Medicine, and the importance of establishing a strong mentoring program and retention strategies for junior faculty and mid-career researchers from underrepresented racial / ethnic minority groups.
