On behalf of the PLTC DE&I Committee, the following represents a list of notable events for June 2022. While it is not possible to cover every event, our hope is to identify a few that might inform your clinical, supervisory, teaching, and leadership efforts in LTC and other settings where you have influence. We are also attempting to include a few upcoming webinars that relate to notable events for the month, and as always you are welcome to check out additional DE&I Resources on the PLTC website.
