Pre-Conference Workshops

Tickets required; space may be limited. Tickets can be purchased onsite if space is available.

Dismantling White Supremacy and Healing Racial Trauma: Ending Racist Practices in College Health

Kelly Gorman, MSc and Gina Orlando, MPH, CHES (Columbia University)

While many college health professionals care deeply about anti-racism and anti-oppression work, it often is not central to their day-to-day work. This pre-conference workshop will help college health professionals understand racism, how they may perpetuate it in their own programming, and how they can begin to dismantle it with strategies that center anti-oppression values.

Transgender Student Health: Providing Holistic Care and Policies

Elijah Salzer, DMSc, PA-C, NYSAFE, C-EFM (Pace University); Shelley Hershner, MD; (University of Michigan); Jaiza Jones, AM, LCSW, Allison Aiken, MD, Tiffany Hsiang Lin, AM, LCSW, Sandeep Lehil, NP (University of California, Berkeley)

Transgender students experience significant social and health inequities with resultant barriers to affordable, quality, gender affirming medical and mental health care.  This session will highlight these disparities and explore health care models which provide integrated, interdisciplinary, and accessible gender-affirming care. Attendees will learn avenues to advocate for their gender diverse students. This program will demonstrate the necessity to create an inclusive campus climate with access to gender affirming health care and policies for transgender students.

Sports Medicine Special Testing

Wendy Sheppard, MS, LAT, ATC, Allison Rose, MS, (University of Richmond/Recreation); Rishi Bala, MD (Bon Secours)

This session will review special testing techniques for a variety of sports medicine injuries (Lachmans, McMurrays, Thompson tests, etc). We will discuss the reliability of each test and give participants an opportunity to try and practice these skills. 

Dismantling the Inherent Privilege of Self-care

Nishelli Ahmed, MPH (University of Connecticut); Raphael Coleman, PhD, MPH (Columbia University); Ashleigh Hala, MSW, LCSW (Wake Forest University)

The current understanding and practice of mainstream self-care is rooted in privilege, capitalism, and colonialism. Self-care is often presented as an individualistic approach to supporting one person's mental health. Self-care alone fails to acknowledge a) the overlapping systems of oppression that affect well-being and b) the role of community care. Collectively, we will dismantle self-care through exploration of anti-oppression frameworks: Trauma Stewardship, Healing Justice, and Community Cultural Wealth.

Considerations for Telehealth in a College Health Setting

Marian Trattner, BSW, MWS (Wake Forest University); Eileen Hineline, RN-BC (Barry University); Esmeralda Lopez (Oregon State University); David Edwards, MD (Texas Tech University)

During the peak of the pandemic most universities implemented telehealth services to continue to serve our students. Now that most campuses have fully re-opened, we are grappling with if or how to continue to offer telehealth and remote services. In this session we will discuss the benefits and unintended impacts of telehealth on administrative processes, primary care, health promotion, and pharmacies.
