I'm Tired 😓!

Like many of our Black women friends, colleagues, and equity advocates, I am tired 😓!

As I witness the deeply disappointing cultural shift ripping through our society and across the globe, it has become clear that equity is no longer the goal.  Instead, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or “DEI”, has been weaponized.  As a result, healthcare institutions’ commitment to educating providers about implicit bias, health disparities, and health equity has weakened. Efforts to maintain current and implement new equitable policies to address social determinants of health, long-standing health disparities, and poor health outcomes have stalled. 

I will suspend offering Continuing Education credits for the online course starting December 1st, 2024. To receive 2.0 CEUs, please complete the course before the deadline.

Still, I remain passionate in my belief that What Is Race & Why Does It Matter: Implicit Bias & Health Equity Education for ALL is the foundational education that healthcare providers need to begin exploring how our society defines race, and how our lived experience from the perspective of race impacts the care we provide, patients’ perceptions, experiences, and health outcomes. However, given the current climate, I have decided to suspend offering Continuing Education credits for the course starting December 1st, 2024.  To receive 2.0 CEUs, please complete the course before the deadline. You will still have access to the content for one year after starting. 

I will continue to offer the course without Continuing Education credits at a reduced price.

What Is Race & Why Does It Matter: Implicit Bias & Health Equity Education for ALL is my life’s work. So, I will continue to offer the course without Continuing Education credits at a reduced price, hoping that curious individuals and brave institutions will find the content and experience valuable. Please continue supporting my work by sharing it with clinicians and healthcare leaders within your organizations.

Like many of our Black women friends, colleagues, and equity advocates, I am tired 😓! As part of my self-care effort, I have decreased my social media activity. Instead, I will prioritize rest and joy while determining how I will contribute to the collective path forward.

Thank you in advance for your support and for extending grace and empathy 🙏🏾.
