Diversity training stopped??? Current VA medical center interns and post-docs please check in!

[beronica]

Hi all

Are there any current psychology interns or post-docs in a VA medical center where diversity training has been suspended following the president's executive order? Its very disconcerting, and there is so little transparency from admin. I am curious what other trainees' experiences are like at other VAs. Have your diversity trainings also been suspended indefinitely?

You may get more people to answer your question at the StudentDoctorNetwork's Psychology forum. Grad Cafe has mostly applicants with some current students. SDN has a lot of students, especially those applying for or on internship/postdoc and psychologists, many of whom work at VAs.

Hi, I'm not an intern or postdoc but I do work at a VA research center. We also received notice that all diversity trainings have been stopped. It's absolutely awful.

Ugh, and this is why everyone needs to vote!

You say that, but I suspect what you really mean is that everyone who agrees with you needs to vote.

That's all. Nothing more. Unless you had something specific to ask me?
