Understand and Prevent Unintended and Implicit Biases

For Allied Health and Other Health Care Professionals

Diversity Science: Proven DEI Solutions

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 course, you will learn:

  • Findings from the mind sciences on why we unintentionally behave in biased ways that are not consistent with our core values
  • How biases negatively impact us and those around us
  • The role of unintended bias in the medical diagnostic process
  • How our unintentional biases can impact patients’ trust and adherence
  • Practical, evidence-based strategies to prevent unintentional biases you can put to work right away

Great training on a very important topic not only in health care, but in our everyday lives.

Great training on a very important topic not only in health care, but in our everyday lives.

I enjoyed learning about studies conducted.

Every one in todays world need to go through this training, biases are real it impacts our patients, employees and communities, we all need to actively work together to reduce or counter biases. Inclusion and diversity are very important to do business in todays world.

Great job by the presenters and appreciate this training for our staff. I love our company

I thought the material was wonderful.  Very insightful.  Eye opening.

I will stop focusing on trying not to come across biased.  Instead I will focus on bonding with patient

Excellent visual/video creation. Interesting and interactive.

Thank you for incorporating this training within (ORGANIZATION REDACTED). As an African American woman myself, I understand the full circle of unconscious bias as both a patient and provider. Again, thank you!

Thanks for being thorough.

Thank you for this topic – I believe there will be a tremendous elevation in the level of care delivered following broad distribution of this material

The black man William the biases that he experienced are what I have experienced in my organization. I think the video will be good for some of my coworkers and management to see

The varied vignettes to present a whole picture of an individual and how/why they have biases toward them AND how to avoid showing bias toward them was a very effective teaching method.

This was a great educational presentation…a topic every individual can work on and grow. Our members/patient’s deserve unbiased care.

This was a great introductory course, far more extensive than previous implicit bias trainings I’ve received in the past

This was a great learning opportunity and I appreciated the research and thought put into this

This was an excellent educational activity that is important to revisit frequently as a refresher.

I expected to multitask but I was completely engaged. It was great information, well presented, with excellent pacing

(I like that).. you use examples of gender and weight bias along with race. This subject matter is about many patients.

Very good, nice balance of didactic material and case vignettes

Very informational and applicable to clinical practice

Very informative and opened my eyes to unconscious bias that I did not realize I had. Thank you.

Very informative. Never really thought about it till today on how I see patients, or how they see me, how they feel.

Very succinct and thorough presentation of the topic.

Very to the point and well done

Very well done and informative. I appreciated the relatable application of these strategies for improvement.

Well condensed, useful info presented in a very professional manner. Thank you.
