Illinois Implicit Bias Training
Contact Hours: 1
What's included?
Course Overview
Health equity is a rising area of focus in healthcare, as renewed attention is being given to ongoing data covering discrepancies and gaps in the accessibility, expense, and quality of healthcare delivered across racial, gender, cultural, and other groups. There are some differences in healthcare outcomes based on biological differences between people of different genders or races. However, more evidence points to the vast majority of healthcare gaps stemming from individual and systemic biases.
Policy change and restructuring are happening at the institutional levels nationwide, but this will only get us so far. For real change to occur and the gaps in healthcare to close, there must also be awareness and change on an individual level. Implicit, or subconscious, bias can potentially change how healthcare professionals deliver care in subtle but meaningful ways and must be addressed to modernize healthcare and achieve accurate equity.
