OUWB Medical Education Week: Practicing Awareness Regarding Unconscious Bias and Microaggressions

Wednesday, May 18, 2022, 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM EST, Beaumont Hospital - Royal Oak, OUWB Large Classroom A, Royal Oak, MI

Patients from underrepresented groups in the United States can experience the effects of unintentional cognitive (unconscious) biases that derive from cultural stereotypes in ways that perpetuate health inequities. Unconscious bias can also affect healthcare professionals in many ways, including patient-clinician interactions, hiring and promotion, and their own interprofessional interactions. Providers need to understand how implicit biases and stereotypes are formed and know how to address and prevent bias and microaggressions that occur in the healthcare environment.
