Understand and Prevent Unintended and Implicit Biases
For Nurses
Course Description
Research has shown that our biases, although often unintended, can influence how we treat patients from minority and marginalized groups. These biases can prevent us from providing equally high-quality care to patients who come from different backgrounds than we do.
This course will give you the knowledge and strategies to help you live your values – treat people fairly and without bias. Most importantly, it includes practical, evidence-based approaches to prevent unintended and implicit biases from affecting your staff, colleagues, and the patients you serve.
In this evidence-based online course, you will learn:
- Why we can behave in biased ways that are not consistent with our true values.
- How biases negatively impact us, our colleagues, and our patients.
- Practical, evidence-based strategies to prevent bias from impacting our behavior and to improve our patient care.
