Participating students, faculty and staff from the Keck School of Medicine of USC, the USC School of Pharmacy and the USC School of Dentistry also provide information about Alzheimer’s disease, asthma, arthritis, cancer, heartburn, lead poison prevention, mental health, pain management and sexual health in both English and Spanish.
