Inclusion Academy, Experiential Learning: Building a Culture of Respect: Acknowledging, Reflecting, and Addressing Unconscious Bias and Microaggressions in Healthcare
October 13, 7:30 am to 8:30 am

Creating an inclusive, respectful healthcare environment requires more than good intentions. It calls for awareness, reflection, and a commitment to understanding how unconscious bias and microaggressions can influence interactions, decision-making, and patient outcomes. In this engaging and thought-provoking webinar, participants will explore how subtle assumptions and everyday behaviors can impact patients, caregivers, colleagues, and healthcare teams.
Learning Objectives
- Define unconscious bias and microaggressions and explain how they manifest in healthcare settings.
- Recognize common forms of unconscious bias and microaggressions that may impact patients, caregivers, colleagues, and healthcare teams.
- Examine assumptions, attitudes, and experiences to better understand how unconscious bias can influence decision-making, communication, and patient care.
Join us as we learn how increased awareness and intentional action can help build a culture of respect where every individual feels seen, heard, valued, and supported.
We look forward to having you attend this event!
