Intersection of Racism and Audism in Early Hearing Detection and Interventions Systems

The Oregon EHDI program is sponsoring a free, online 4-week workshop focused on the intersection of systemic racism and audism. Sessions will be held: 1/25, 2/1, 2/8, and 2/15 from 9:30-11:30 am.

Register now at https://nurturely.org/intersection-of-racism-and-audism/. 

If you can’t attend live, you can still register to have later access to on-demand content. Drop in to the sessions you’re available to join, and catch the others when you can.

The series will be facilitated by Nurturely, leaders in uniting perinatal and pediatric practitioners with communities to promote equity and focus on historically marginalized communities. We welcome all EHDI system partners including hospital staff, birth center staff, midwives, audiologists, students, early intervention, family support partners, Advisory Community members, primary care providers, and family and community members. ASL interpreters and live captioning will be available.

8 continuing education units from the American Academy of Audiology (AAA) are pending approval. A certificate of completion can be provided for individuals to submit for credit to other licensing/professional organizations, as needed. 

**The Oregon Board of Examiners for SLP and Audiology now requires at least one hour of professional development in cultural competency. This is a great opportunity to meet this requirement.
