Project ECHO® on Racism in Nursing is being conducted as part of the ongoing work of the National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing, a multi-organizational collaborative of leading nursing organizations to examine the issue of racism within nursing nationwide and the impact on nurses, patients, communities, and healthcare systems to motivate all nurses to confront systemic racism. Through ECHO®, the National Commission is offering this free tele-mentoring program that connects nurses with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) experts using brief lectures and case-based learning, and discussion.

The National Commission’s Project ECHO® on Racism in Nursing serves as a forum for nurses to increase their knowledge about how racism “shows up” in the profession and in healthcare and improves the skills needed to confront systemic racism and empowers nurses to become allies.

The Project ECHO®: Addressing Racism in Nursing series includes:

Eight, 90 minute sessions
Virtually delivered by subject matter expert faculty and mentors
Case presentation and discussion
Short lecture on a topic related to racism in nursing.
