Overview:
This is the next level in the Cedars-Sinai’s Unconscious Bias Education Series. As we work to create an environment of inclusion and belonging and advance health equity, this education provides an opportunity to: highlight the rich history and mission of caring for the underserved; understand how our brains process information and make associations and assumptions that can have a negative impact on patients, colleagues, and our culture of inclusion and belonging; and, provide our workforce with tools to mitigate and interrupt unconscious biases.

Objectives:

• Understand concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion; socioeconomic status, generational differences, power dynamics, and the unique experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community in the healthcare environment.
• Demonstrate familiarity with the experiences of various social groups in relation to bias.
• Recognize instances of inequity in their own workplace and community environments and take steps to mitigate biases and factors that contribute to inequities.
• Reflect on personal experiences with bias and utilize this self-awareness to actively advance your individual Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) journey.
