The program is founded on GBHI’s values—Authenticity, Fairness, Openness, Respect, Courage, and Empathy (A FORCE)—and a commitment and ability to embody these values in practice and inspire them in others. The values are considered in every aspect of the program—from the curriculum to the clinical and lived experiences.
Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health join the program for a year and are linked to either our University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) or Trinity College Dublin (Trinity) campus.
We’re now able to add to the conversation, and our voices are being heard.
