The most intensive version of the fellowship involves dedicating approximately 2-2.5 hours of time per week for four months. Under these intensive conditions, learners complete the 30 lectures and attend the eight live 45-minute-long group sessions transpiring every other week through Kajabi Live. These 2-2.5 hours allow learners to complete 2 lectures per week, along with their journal prompts and required readings, over the course of four months. These 2-2.5 hours per week account for the eight live group sessions lasting 45 minutes, as well as the once-per-month 1:1 sessions with Dr. Legha if you choose that package. HOWEVER, learners get access to the lectures for an entire year, so they can take their time with them. 

Two lectures drop each week. Each lecture lasts 30-40 minutes and calls for an additional 20 minutes for a self-reflective exercise and a reading. The eight live video group sessions transpire every other Wednesday between 4 and 7 pm EST (the exact time for these 45-minute sessions is pinpointed one month before the fellowship start day).

There is a great deal of flexibility built in so you can slow things down. Keep reading.

How about dedicating 1-2 hours per month?

Though we advise 2-2.5 hours per week for an intensive, optimal experience lasting four months, we give you options to slow things down and move at your own pace.  We extend your access to the lectures beyond the four months (up to a year) of the fellowship so you can take your time with the content.

Finally, we recognize that many of you have busy schedules that require even more flexibility and make the group sessions impossible. You can sign up for our package allowing access to the lectures for up to a year and four 1:1 sessions with Dr. Legha to discuss on your clock and at your leisure—while skipping the group session component. This most flexible option truly allows you to move at your own pace. Email Dr. Legha to find our more ([email protected]).

Though it may feel like you don’t have time to invest, the truth is—you don’t have time to lose! The joy, healing, and purpose that come from an antiracist clinical practice are things you need and deserve immediately. My own journey into antiracism has unlocked boundless joy and freedom, both personally and professionally. It's also lead to greater professional success and stature. 

Four months is indeed an investment, and choosing this fellowship means you are serious about doing the work. Antiracism cannot be reduced to a lunchtime talk or an afternoon workshop. Disrupting the status quo requires time, energy, and intention. But know this: you CAN do this, and joining the fellowship will help you generate even more time and energy in your life. Aligning your practice with your values brings you into greater integrity with yourself and allows you to offer more to the world.

If you need more than four months to complete the lectures, consider the Progress Trailblazer package. This option gives you a full year to watch the lectures and includes four 1:1 sessions with me, scheduled at your own pace. Email me at antiracistmd@gmail.com to learn more.

For the question, “Is now the right time?”—there is no other time than right now. Each day we delay answering our ethical mandates, they slip further out of reach. This fellowship needs passionate, committed souls like you to seed transformation in the mental healthcare system today. Justice and equity cannot wait. Remember Ibram X. Kendi's dichotomy of all actions being racist or antiracist. Which do you choose? (The latter is the only right answer, so enroll!)

You are needed now—to galvanize your own antiracism journey and to help build a movement that transforms the way mental healthcare is practiced. Make 2024/2025 the year you step into this vital work. The time is now!

Thank you for considering investing your precious resources in this first-of-its-kind intensive antiracism training program. It exists because of people like you. This fellowship is not just an expense—it’s an investment in yourself, your career, and your unwavering commitment to social justice. The dividends from this work—professionally, personally, and ethically—are immeasurable.

You don’t want to pay the price of missing this opportunity to connect with like-minded leaders and transform your practice. The skills and knowledge you’ll gain enrich every aspect of your professional life. I can personally vouch for how this work has elevated my private practice and opened doors to teaching, writing, and leadership opportunities that have enhanced my visibility and impact.

Those who joined the pilot fellowship said it was “135,000% worth it.” Past participants have made sacrifices—some tapping into savings, relying on loans, or seeking funding from family and friends. Others have successfully advocated for their employers to fund this transformative journey.

If this work speaks to you, consider how to creatively mobilize the resources to join. Your commitment to justice and equity is worth it—and so are you.

Each of the 30 lectures features a reading that takes 10-15 minutes to complete. The reading tied to each lecture intends to provoke critical thinking among fellowship learners. Therefore, they are highly recommended. However, there is no firm requirement to complete them. You can still collect your CMEs through Learner+ even if you do not complete the readings.

The only live component of the fellowship is the eight group sessions. They take place on Kajabi Live every other Wednesday afternoon/evening. At the present moment, the exact time for the group discussions starting in March 2025 have not been set. Please keep you 4pm-7pm EST period blocked and articulate your time preference to Dr. Legha when you do your solidarity session. She will accommodate as many learners as possible and will confirm the time in February 2025. If group sessions are not manageable,  there is also the option for 50-minute 1:1 sessions with Dr. Legha through the Progress Trailblazer package. You can schedule those session at any time via Calendly. The 30 lectures can be watched at any time because they are pre-recorded.

Stay tuned for other opportunities to discuss antiracism with likeminded thinkers. As the fellowship picks up steam, I hope to create more regular group discussions because conversation is the heartbeat of antiracism work.

This fellowship strives offers a shared language and pedagogy that translates easily across healthcare settings. The key terms, required readings, journal prompts, and antiracism strategies are precious nuggets that can immediately inform workplace learning and discussion. After each lecture, you will have a dozen or more ideas of how to spark antiracist change among your colleagues.

You can also take what you learn back to your organization by advocating for your colleagues to take the course. This might seem like a far-off dream, but until we share the same lexicon and adhere to shared competencies, we cannot have a meaningful conversation nor provoke change in substantive ways. I recommend choosing a fellowship package involving 1:1 sessions with me so we can figure out what this strategy looks like for your organization. Having brought innovative antiracist medical education to diverse settings worldwide, I have a clear sense of the barriers and opportunities.

During these initial pilots, I do not have funds available to sponsor scholarships. But I hope that changes soon so it can be accessible to as many people as possible.

In the meantime, I can draft a letter of support to encourage your home institution/organization to fund your involvement. This is a strong professional development case for this fellowship, given that there’s nothing like it out there. 

Some learners are leaning on family and friends to raise funds for this educational investment.

Another option is to consider one of the payment plans through Paypal, which allows payments to be spread out over the course of 6-24 months. Please review Paypal's terms and conditions if you choose this option.
