Mission
Duke's Neurodiversity Advocates (DNA) is dedicated to introducing new healthcare professionals to a broader scope of education regarding disabilities, and facilitating outreach opportunities within our community. Our goal is to highlight and overcome the lack of recognition disability receives as a determinant of health within the finite education of our healthcare system. This currently limited education and exposure to disabilities is a constraint on both understanding the true impact and providing adequate care. Providing holistic care to our patients requires the confident ability of the healthcare professional to eliminate biases, provide trust within our interactions and use respectful language. We hope that interprofessional collaboration will allow us to utilize our unique skill sets to grow as professionals, minimize the distance between the "disabled" and "abled" and build an inclusive environment that will benefit our future patients. While establishing these goals, we hope to be Duke's first Interprofessional Education (IPE) organization to ignite new ways of thinking, connections and opportunities. We aim to provide group members with leadership development opportunities, volunteer experiences within the local community, and extensive education on how to advocate for inclusivity within the healthcare field.
