The course will cover how we make decisions and the impact it has on our practice. Attendees will be able to describe the difference between explicit and implicit bias. The course will list 3 examples of explicit and implicit biases for attendees to review. This course will illustrate the impacts of implicit bias in the workplaces and encourage participant discussion on reducing the impact.
