Lived Experience: The Need for Anti-Racism Work in Correctional Health Care Webinar
The mission of NCCHC’s Committee on Systemic Racism is to guide the field toward eradicating systemic racism through clinical, education, research, advocacy policy, and practice tools. The Committee hosted open forums at the 2022 NCCHC Spring and Fall conferences to identify themes and issues and where intervention may be most useful. One theme that came up repeatedly was racism experienced by staff of color. In our work towards an anti-racist environment for both patients and staff, the lived experiences of staff are a crucial component in understanding racism in correctional health care environments. This webinar will explore such lived experiences, offer a dialogue on how racism impacts individuals working in correctional health care, and explore interventions to address this issue.
There is no charge for this webinar. CE is not available.

Navigating Correctional Health Care as a New Professional: FREE Webinar
Made possible by an educational grant from the NCCHC Foundation
Presented by the NCCHC Young Professionals Committee
Working in correctional health care presents unique challenges and rewards. On one hand, the environment can be demanding due to the complex medical needs of incarcerated individuals, often exacerbated by substance abuse disorders and mental illness. Additionally, navigating security protocols and maintaining safety adds another layer of difficulty. However, the opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of a marginalized population is incredibly rewarding. Providing quality care to patients without a history of health care can lead to profound improvements in health outcomes and overall well-being. Moreover, the diverse patient population offers valuable opportunities for professional growth and learning.
As an early career professional, you may find your workplace bewildering, frustrating, exciting, and rewarding — all at the same time. Our experienced multidisciplinary panel will share challenges and solutions to common situations, with time for you to delve further and ask your own questions.
This webinar is a project of the NCCHC Young Professionals Committee. It is supported by an educational grant from the NCCHC Foundation.
Up to 1 hour of CE for physicians, nurses, psychologists, and general. See the registration page for more details.
