As part of its mission to educate future physician leaders, Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin will begin its 2022-2023 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) seminar series on August 31 with a presentation by Dr. Stephanie Cawthon.
Her talk, Ableism, Accessibility, and Equity in the Workplace, will address three key points:
-
Understand different theoretical and practical definitions of disability
-
Identify ableism and how it is perpetrated in work environments
-
Identify strategies to both reduce ableism and increase accessibility in work environments
One (1) CEU will be available for LPCs, LCSWs, and PhDs/PsyDs. Dell Medical School’s DEI Series is online for students, faculty, and staff. It is organized and hosted by the college’s Cultural Diversity Committee.
