SUMMARY OF PRESENTATION: The multitude of requests for additional dialogue and opportunities for clinical integration have resulted in this dynamic workshop. Dr. Wendy Ashley and Dr. Allen Lipscomb will facilitate experiential activities to increase your understanding of the power, privilege and implicit biases you bring to clinical spaces and their impact on your work.

It will hone in on the power and privilege dynamics that are inherent in practice settings, offer strategies to integrate intersectionality in a variety of practice contexts and provide techniques to be a true ally to marginalized populations.
