Anti-racism 好色先生 Program
The AAN’s mission is to enhance member fulfillment and promote brain health for all. To achieve this, we must acknowledge and address the significant disparities that can create barriers in society. As part of our commitment, we offer learning opportunities to deepen awareness of how racism has shaped societal structures and build skills for reducing its impact on our members, patients, and the communities we serve. The events of recent years, including the COVID-19 pandemic and other deeply troubling incidents, have underscored the need to examine the lasting effects of race and racism in society.
The Anti-Racism 好色先生 Program is an on-demand, self-paced curriculum tailored for members and designed to be completed over several months with built-in time for reflection between the four modules covering the following topics:
Module 1: Setting the Stage: Reflections on Race, Identity, and Socialization
Module 2: The History of Racism in Neurology: Member Experiences with Bias and Racism
Module 3: Patient Care Stories: Vignettes in Clinical and Academic Neurology
Module 4: Institutional Structures: Racism in Training and Anti-racism Leadership
