Implicit Bias in Healthcare
Hours: 1.00 - 1.75
Recent movement toward diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is encouraging for historically overlooked individuals. Diversity and inclusivity bring a variety of frequently ignored perspectives and experiences, but it has also uncovered the depth of implicit biases.
This course will present the impact of implicit biases and other forms of discrimination on the provision of healthcare, as well as best practices to reduce implicit bias and the means to become a DEI ally.
The goal of this course is to provide healthcare employees with training about implicit bias in healthcare.
