Course Description
Course Description:
The purpose of this course is to meet mandatory implicit bias and health equity training standards. While the causes of health disparities are multifactorial, researchers have identified that unconscious biases affect clinicians’ perceptions of others, influencing decisions and actively contributing to health inequalities. Typically, implicit biases are negative and unintentionally lead to disparities in patient–provider interactions, treatment decisions, and overall access to care. The purpose of implementing implicit bias and health equity training is to emphasize to healthcare providers a modifiable risk known to play a role in the causation of health disparities. This will allow learners to search for health equity and find the course to fulfill mandatory for WA HC professionals.
