  Let’s Make Some Noise about MAASA--Register for the ADA 2021 Virtual Fly-in MAASA Senate Sign-on Challenge, August 3-5, 2021

  Let’s make some noise before the Senate adjourns for August Recess! On August 3rd, 4th, and 5th, ADA members and AuDvocates from around the nation will conduct a combined 100 virtual visits to connect with every U.S. Senator in every state and make the case for them to sign-on as a co-sponsor of the Medicare Audiologist Access and Services Act (MAASA), S. 1731 (and to thank those who already have).

  Registration is easy! Simply click here and complete the form, noting your availability during Tuesday August 3rd, Wednesday August 4th, and Thursday August 5th for a web conference with each of your U.S. Senators. Attendees will receive a customized schedule, access to prep materials and advocacy training, and the login information for each meeting. Legislative meetings will be scheduled to coincide with the best availability of constituents and the availability of each Senator/Senate staff.

  Your Senators will be more likely to sign on to MAASA if you sign on and meet with them—so please register to participate in the MAASA August Senate Sign-on Challenge! Non-members, including patients are welcome and encouraged to participate. Please contact advocacy@audiologist.org if you have any questions or if we can assist you in any way. Please register by July 15^th.

  Incorporating Diversity Science into your Practice

  
  

  Course Description:
  This two-part course (September 11th and October 9th) is designed to introduce diversity science and cultural humility within the practice of healthcare. This course focuses on (1) centering the lived experiences of multi diverse communities; (2) conceptualizing bias on various social divisions of difference as factors that impact social determinants of health; (3) developing critical self-consciousness to better understand how one’s perspectives and experiences might inform their practice; and (4) implementing strategies to address bias in healthcare settings. 

  
  

  To maximize your experience, this is one course, divided over two sessions. You must attend the first session in order to attend the second. There will be asynchronous work to complete between the September 11th and October 9th sessions.

  
  Course Objectives:

  At the end of this two-part course series, attendees should be able to:

  • Describe diversity science and cultural humility as well as their impact on healthcare
  • Critically analyze the implications of bias on health care
  • Utilize tools to address and cope with bias in the healthcare setting
  • Apply and reflect on communication skills in cross-cultural clinical settings

  
  

  
  

  
  

  INSTRUCTOR: Matthew Town, PhD, MPH, is a citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and an Assistant Professor of Public Health at Pacific University. Dr. Town is a behavioral health scientist whose research focus is on the intersections of cultural, diversity science, and health behaviors among American Indian and Alaska Natives, sexual minorities, and other marginalized communities. Dr. Town received his MPH in Global Health from Oregon State University, and his PhD in Sociology from the Portland State University. Prior to becoming an academic, Dr. Town worked at Tribal Epidemiology Centers in the Great Plains and the Pacific Northwest as well as Program Supervisor for the Disease Control and Prevention Team for Washington County (Oregon) Health Department. During this time, Dr. Town worked alongside clinicians, community advocates, tribal leaders, and citizens on numerous research and evaluation projects. With his experience and support, his current work examines the social and cultural determinants of HIV and substance use related risk behavior. He currently leads the strategic planning and programming for the College of Arts and Sciences at Pacific University as the inaugural Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Fellow.
