Course Description:

Join us as we explore implicit bias in an engaging and participatory space towards healing and understanding. We will examine our unconscious biases using a pre- and post- implicit bias test and understand how they affect our perceptions and relationships with others in this warm and accepting environment.We will traverse the nuances of implicit bias through small group discussions, reflection exercises, and thought-provoking activities, while acknowledging that these talks can be difficult. Together, we will create a welcoming and safe environment in large groups and affinity groups where participants can freely express their ideas, opinions, and concerns. Participants will have the opportunity to brainstorm and discuss strategies for implementing inclusive practices, policies, and initiatives in their respective health care environments. The training will provide resources and support to ensure participants have the tools they need to turn their intentions into actionable change and to foster culture sensitivity.
