Description

Bias, whether explicit or implicit, is endemic to American life. It affects our systems, our institutions, and our relationships. When implicit bias frames the patient-provider relationship, however, the results can be catastrophic. In this session, we will evaluate the concept of implicit bias, demonstrate how it leads to disparate outcomes in healthcare, and explore practices aimed at eliminating bias in our professional and personal lives.

Target Audience
  • • Counselors
  • • Addiction Counselors
  • • Psychologists
  • • Social Workers
  • • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists
