Course Description:
Implicit bias is described as prejudices that unknowingly influence thinking and reaction to events and information. Implicit Bias negatively impacts the way people are treated by health professionals and the structural inequities in healthcare can be detrimental for people of color and other members of marginalized communities including those we support through MORC. As MORC is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year we remain committed to maximizing potential for those we support. It is essential for us to engage in this inclusive and engaging learning experience. This three hour live/online instructor-led Implicit Bias Training includes large group discussions, interactive breakout rooms, challenging videos, and self-assessments. This training has been approved for 3 hours of Social Work CEUs.
