Speaking Topics

Knowledge & Topics Your Audience Needs

In Demetria’s presentations, she draws on more than 20 years of experience as a marketer, researcher, and entrepreneurial advisor to teach clinicians, patients, and health care leaders on how to de-implement mediocrity and ignite real improvement in health outcomes.

Dr. Demetria’s work and research help people understand and improve how healthcare information is delivered to different groups. The disparity in health communication leads to inequities in healthcare outcomes.

In her engagements, she provides powerful stories and examples about how health outcomes are affected by how information is disseminated and implemented. She discusses how and why health inequities exist, and the vital information health institutions and providers need to know to bring equitable healthcare to everyone.

Dissemination and Implementation Science

Researchers do great work and discover so many important and life-changing innovations. However, the time between discoveries and their translation to a real-world application is significant.

Contact me to learn more about how you and your institution can learn more effective ways to close the gap from bench to realized positive clinical outcomes and decrease the time to clinical impact.

Health Inequities in Health Care Delivery Services

Minoritized populations suffer detrimental consequences due to race, socioeconomic status, religion, or other marginalization. The inequities in healthcare delivery cause disproportionate and preventable incidences of death and illness exacerbation within these groups.
My research prioritizes the reformation of how healthcare services are delivered to eradicate health inequities. Ask me to show your organization ways they can help bring equitable health to everyone.

Health inequities in the Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases

Identification and elimination of system-level disparities in cardiovascular disease outcomes have been a focus of my research. In my engagements, I bring a greater awareness of the personal and financial cost of health disparities among minoritized populations and underserved populations. It is a tragic story, but one that we can change together.
I am a passionate advocate of bringing about better health through improved communication, education, and the implementation of better practices. Contact me to learn what we can all do to reduce health disparities in cardiovascular outcomes and eliminate inequities in care delivery.

Doctor- Patient Communication

The communication strategies used by doctors to communicate health information and options vary greatly between locations, socioeconomic groups, religions, and races. Variation in the information and treatment options provided to patients can significantly affect health outcomes creating a disparity an inequity in who receives the best care.

Testimonials

Slide

"The most valuable part of this workshop was the entire thing! I suppose if I had to pick out a specific aspect of the workshop, the discussion surrounding the components of a value proposition truly helped me to take a fresh look at the current goals in my public health grant program and how we can improve it even during such a time as COVID-19. I am not exaggerating when I say this is the best online training I have ever taken. The instructor, Dr. McNeal, was incredibly engaging with the participants and she was able to cover so much important material in such a small amount of time. I really appreciate her and the opportunity to take this workshop."
