SUMMARY:Moving from Safe Spaces to Brave Spaces
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to register for the 2022 virtual African American Conference on Disabilities (AACD) throughout the month of February. This conference is a FREE event!\nSession 12\nThursday\, February 17th – 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm (Phoenix time) \n\nDerrick K. Willis\, MPA\, Director of the University of Iowa’s Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) at the Center for Disabilities and Development (CDD) within the University of Iowa Health Care.   \n\nSynopsis: In the past two years\, issues related to historical oppression\, structural racism\, health disparities and many other social justice inequities were exposed. Agencies have spent countless hours developing strategies to respond to these inequities. Through these efforts\, we have learned that our ability to keep conversations and environments free of risk is difficult. Creating safe spaces will no longer yield the results desired and needed to bring about change. The conversations will not get easier\, but our ability to press forward towards more meaningful dialogue will expand. This session will explore strategies to turn safe spaces into brave spaces that lead to thought-provoking and deep conversations that help identify root causes and begin reconciliation. \nRegister here https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMlceyurDosHNVdm72aPKtitATnOGlnUSoO

SUMMARY:Pandemic Lessons Learned: Improving Care Provisions And Service Delivery For Individuals With Disabilities - Online
DESCRIPTION:This event is free for students\, interns\, residents\, patients\, and family members. American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters will be available on Zoom during the conference. \nThis conference will focus on changes in the health care system precipitated by the COVID pandemic. \nWe will review systems of care for wellness and rehabilitation for people with disabilities and the way in which care providers strategized to meet the needs of individuals they served this past year. \nClinical and classroom teaching was dramatically impacted by social distancing mandates and health and safety concerns.  Presentations will review how educators perceived the new strategies for teaching over the pandemic and what aspects of clinical teaching will be changed forever. \nIn addition\, the influence of telehealth had a major impact on traditional service delivery models. For some fields of health care\, the innovative clinical strategies which evolved will facilitate patients improved access to physical\, behavioral health care and specialist consultant services.  For other disciplines in medicine\, the pandemic had major negative health status outcomes.  Consumers were differently impacted by economic\, social\, geographic and disability related variables. \nThe keynote speaker is Lisa Iezzoni\, MD. Dr. Iezzoni is a professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Mongan Institute for Health Policy at Massachusetts General Hospital. She has spent over three decades conducting research examining health care quality\, delivery systems and policy issues relating to persons with disabilities. Dr. Iezzoni is also the first woman to be appointed as a professor in the department of medicine at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston\, MA and is a member of the Institute of Medicine in the National Academy of Sciences.
