Reading Between the Lines: An Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Book Club
Join 大香蕉视频’s Diversity and Inclusion Mission Advancement Commission (DIMAC) as we dive deep and read between the lines of books that impact our patients, our communities, and each other. We will amplify and highlight diverse communities and their intersections with our health care system. This is not your average book club.
Keeping in mind your load as a PA educator, there will be no pop quizzes or mandatory attendance. Whether you鈥檝e finished the chapter assigned for that meeting or want to join to listen to the discussions, you will be welcomed.
We will also utilize the 鈥淩eading Between the Lines Book Club鈥 (located in the Member Community) to keep the conversation going outside of book club meetings and for those unable to attend the virtual sessions.
The first 50 people to sign up will receive a free copy of this year鈥檚 book Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins-Valdez. On the author鈥檚 website, the book is described as “Inspired by true events that rocked the nation, a searing and compassionate new novel about a Black nurse in post-segregation Alabama who blows the whistle on a terrible injustice done to her patients.”
This year’s book club is scheduled for the following dates:
- Thursday, June 8: Welcome Session
- Thursday, July 13: Discussion of Part 1
- Thursday, August 24: Discussion of Part 2
- Thursday, September 21: Discussion of Part 3
- October 2023: In-person book club meeting at the 2023 大香蕉视频 Education Forum in New Orleans, LA
