Wednesday Lecture Series: Training Psychiatrists to Achieve Mental Health Equity
This presentation will be broadcast live online on May 5, 2021, from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST. While this activity is LIVE and can only be viewed during the time specified, the evaluation will be available online until June 2, 2021.

The history of organized psychiatry in the United States includes racist practices in the areas of diagnosis, treatment, training and research. These practices contribute to inequities in mental health. Reform in psychiatric training may be effective at reducing such disparities; policy recommendations may increase the number of underrepresented minorities in health services; and training practices should address health inequity. Lifelong learning in psychiatry may also be leveraged to promote mental health equity.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, counselors, therapists and other mental health professionals.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:
- Describe challenges in training psychiatrists to achieve mental health equity.
- Identify historical events that contributed to mental health inequities.
- Plan training practices that promote health equity.
