This three-part series explores foundational concepts related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Through a highly self-reflective approach, participants will learn about identity, privilege, bias, and allyship as foundational pillars to understanding how to achieve DEI. Participants will engage in self-reflection throughout the series to apply concepts to their clinical and personal lives with the overall goal of creating more respectful and inclusive environments.

NOTE: All 3 parts must be completed sequentially in order to receive CEUs. Each part will be launched individually approximately 3 weeks apart with the final part launching in December 2021

In addition, more courses may be added throughout the year, please check back on a regular basis.
