Dr. Anita Sim sits down with Ivy Cho at the Asian Neuropsychological Association (ANA) to speak about her thoughts and reflections on challenges that graduate students sometimes face, as well as the integration of diversity in the field of neuropsychology. 

The AAPI Heritage month series is inspired by the conversations from the Society for Black Neuropsychology. In the spirit of connecting our members to a broader range of topics and issues in our field, the ANA Newsletter and Media committee aims to connect people's personal and career identities together to spark deep discussions. This talk was organized and curated by the Newsletter and Media committee at ANA. Learn more at https://the-ana.org
