Implicit Bias Core Course for Health Professionals - 6 Contact Hours

Course overview

This course approaches Implicit Bias from a wide range of topics by several diversity experts. The course starts with core definitions of bias in both every day and professional life. It then expands to specific examples and strategies to deal with the same. Three national experts provide perspectives from three different points of view. There is then a dynamic panel discussion of three real world case studies illustrating various aspects of bias. Evaluation for the course is focused on personal assessments of understanding and beliefs. Learners are encouraged to complete the Harvard Implicit Bias assessments both before and following the course to determine if their beliefs and attitudes have changed. The desired outcome for this course is one of self-awareness and exploration of one's one belief as well as strategies for increased understanding and modification.
