Implicit Bias: Reducing Barriers and Disparities in Delivery of Health and Mental Health Services (1 CME/ CE Credit)

Numerous studies have shown the impact that various forms of bias can have on the delivery of care. For example, the concerns of women who present for treatment are more often ignored than those of men who present for treatment. And, the concerns of Black women, in particular, are ignored at their peril. This class explores the role of implicit and explicit bias in defining the systems that provide care in America. This course also includes strategies for individual professionals, and professionals in collaboration, to use in order to reduce disparities in access to and delivery of physical and mental health care services. This course meets the “Implicit Bias Training” requirements outlined under Michigan State Public Health Code.
