Implicit Bias in Health Care

Academics / Global Campus / Professional Development / Implicit Bias in Health Care

For this segment of the training, you will receive one contact hour of credit. When combined with the live session on January 20, you will receive three contact hours.

• Reflect on current implicit bias research and strategies to reduce disparities in health care.
• Describe how cultural norms, language, and experiences shape our individual knowledge and decision-making.
• Describe the neuroscience of implicit bias.
• Identify several forms of bias.
• Interpret the relationship between implicit bias and disparate access to and delivery of health care services.
