Physical and Mental health professionals cannot ignore the impact that various forms of bias play into the barriers to and disparities experience in the delivery of care. For instance, the concerns of women who present for treatment are more often ignored than those of men who present for treatment. And, the concerns of Black women, in particular, are ignored at their peril.
This course explains the role of implicit and explicit bias in defining the systems that provide physical and mental health care in America. This course also includes strategies for individual professionals, and professionals in collaboration, to use in order to reduce disparities in access to and delivery of physical and mental health care services.
Learning Objectives:
Define key terms related to implicit and explicit bias, such as implicit bias, explicit bias, and related concepts.

Apply a framework to critically assess and evaluate the impact of implicit bias in their own professional practice within the healthcare context.
Demonstrate strategies for addressing and mitigating implicit bias within their workplace, promoting equitable healthcare delivery.
