This course gives healthcare professionals foundational knowledge of implicit or unconscious bias, including a definition of this type of bias and a history of its many origins. The course provides examples of implicit bias in everyday life as well as in healthcare settings. Clinicians will learn ways to debias and become aware of the impact of a person's behavior versus intent. With this information, providers can improve relationships with patients and, ultimately, health outcomes.
