HR023 - Addressing Individual and Systemic Issues
In this course, learners will need to look not only at the systemic issues of racism in the health care industry, but also their own biases, prejudices, and influence on patients’ care. Becoming knowledgeable and more comfortable with often uncomfortable truths, acknowledging differences, and understanding the issues that both health care workers and patients face are steps in breaking down historical barriers and broadening one’s perspectives.
