Implicit Bias Training: Increasing Understanding towards Reducing Barriers and Disparities In Access to and Delivery Of Physical and Mental Health Care Services
Physical and Mental Health Professionals cannot ignore the impact that various forms of bias play into the barriers to and disparities experienced in the delivery of care. For instance, 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 course examines the role of implicit and explicit bias in defining the systems that provide physical and mental health 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.
