Berkshire AHEC announces Continuing Ed Program01:28PM / Friday, December 19, 2008
The Berkshire Area Health Education Center (AHEC) will present a continuing education program in honor of Martin Luther King’s birthday entitled “Genes vs. Racisms: Exploring Racial Inequalities in Health.” The program will be held on Thursday, January 15, 2009, from 9:30am to 12:30pm, at the Crowne Plaza, One West Street, Pittsfield. Dr. Alan Goodman, PhD. will discuss the connections between health, race, genetics, and racism and will examine the role of genetic explanation, and in particular, how it is applied to racial differences in health.
The public health community in the US has made a commitment to ridding the nation of “racial” and ethnic health disparities. This commitment was first articulated in 1998 as the Initiative to Eliminate Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities by the Year 2010 and has since been formalized in the second of two over-arching goals of Healthy People 2010. In order to reach such a goal with any hope of success, we must try to understand and address the causes of racial health disparities.
Registration and a continental breakfast will begin at 9:00am. 3 contact hours will be available for social workers, nursing home administrators, licensed mental health and substance abuse counselors, pharmacists, nurses, dental hygienists and assistants, physical and occupational therapists. Credits have been approved for EMT’s (all levels) and this continuing education activity was approved by the Massachusetts Association of Registered Nurses, Inc. and accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.
The registration fee includes continental breakfast, course materials and CE certificate. Registration will be $51 and registrations received after December 31rst will be $56 and at the door will be $61. Please visit www.berkshireahec.org to register online and for more information. |
