Implicit Bias Awareness: Is Patient Care Impacted? (2023 Renewal Requirement)

Everyone has bias, and, by the end of this webinar, you will understand the difference between implicit and explicit bias. You will also understand how implicit biases are formed, the effect these biases have in our community, and how they can affect the quality of care your patient receives. Lastly, you will learn strategies to address your implicit bias.

This course will meet Illinois' requirements for implicit bias awareness training and include:

• explanation of implicit bias; the difference between explicit and implicit biases;
• causes of implicit bias; how they form and operate;
• effects of implicit bias; the harms they cause; and
• interrupting and mitigating implicit bias.

This course was originally presented by Dr. Clarke on August 2, 2022, and sponsored by the ICS.
