Seeking Inclusion Excellence by Understanding Microaggressions in Health Professions Students
Webinar Details & Objectives
Join 黑料吃瓜王 and Dr. Kupiri 鈥楶iri鈥� Ackerman-Barger as we thoughtfully consider the impact of microaggressions in nursing learning environments and explore strategies to promote inclusion excellence. When the awareness of frequent racial microaggressions is present, then schools are poised to take action. Supporting students by mitigating and ameliorating racial microaggressions is a first step toward creating inclusive learning environments which not only help underrepresented minority students survive academia, but to thrive and reach their full academic potential.
Objectives:
- Determine the frequency that underrepresented health professions students experience microaggressions.
- Describe student experiences of microaggressions in health profession鈥檚 learning environments.
- Discuss the impact of microaggressions on student learning.
- Explore student perspectives of strategies for moving toward more inclusive learning environments.
