Inclusion Academy, Experiential Learning: The Upstander Approach: Combating Unconscious Bias in Patient Care
June 9, 7:30 am to 8:30 am
Bias can be silent—but its impact is loud.
Join us for a powerful session on how to recognize and interrupt unconscious bias in healthcare using the Upstander Framework—a practical, action-oriented approach to creating more inclusive and equitable care environments.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- What the Upstander Framework is and why it matters in healthcare
- How to apply it in real-world situations to address bias and promote respect
- Best practices for using Upstander principles in both professional and everyday settings
Whether you’re a clinician, staff member, or advocate for equity, this session will equip you with the tools to speak up, stand strong, and support a culture of inclusion.
7:30a – Registration
