HNS Annual Conference Registration
HNS Annual Meeting: Intersectionality Across all Aspects of the Neuropsychological Evaluation
Clinical neuropsychologists rarely learn tangible ways to conduct assessments with patients of backgrounds that may not match their own cultural identity and experiences. Certainly, language represents one, if not the main, barrier that English-speaking neuropsychologists face when attempting to conduct competent assessments of non-English speaking patients. However, one could argue that language is but one aspect amongst a multitude of other factors to consider. Anchoring the discussion around intersectionality theory, HNS at NAN 2023 seeks to highlight how appreciating heterogeneity will be instrumental to providing equitable neuropsychological services to all patients. The structure of HNS at NAN 2023 is unique. We aim to establish a tradition whereby the updated Minnesota Neuropsychological competencies of equity, justice, cultural respect, inclusion, self-care, and advocacy are fully integrated into our program. As such, we will also focus on inclusive events that are geared towards redefining the role of a neuropsychologist as a champion for advocacy, self-care, and inclusion as we move toward the next century of neuropsychology.
Code of Conduct and Behavior Policies
We value the participation of each member of the HNS community and want all attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience.
