Speaker: Elizabeth Gadioli
Unconscious attitudes and assumptions can unintentionally influence patient interactions, treatment decisions, and workplace culture. This interactive seminar explores the concept of implicit bias and its effects in both historical and modern health care contexts. Participants will learn to recognize and address bias within their own practices while developing strategies to promote equitable access and inclusive care. Through reflection and guided discussion, attendees will complete pre- and post-assessments to measure personal growth and gain actionable steps toward fostering fairness and respect in patient care.
Learning objectives:
- Define implicit bias and its relevance in health care settings.
- Recognize how implicit bias affects patient care and professional relationships.
- Develop strategies to mitigate bias and improve equitable access for all patients.
