Implicit Bias: Interrupting the stories that prevent us from delivering optimal care (1.5 CEs)

Description

This course is designed to explore our implicit biases and the ways that our stories about illness and health, race and gender, us and them, prevent us from being of the greatest service possible. This course blends lecture and exercises to access our hidden beliefs and to befriend the undeniable truth that you are not the boss of your brain.
