Influence of Implicit Bias on Health Outcomes
Implicit bias in health care has deep and lasting consequences. Whether in maternal and child health, cancer care, or substance use disorder treatment, unconscious feelings and beliefs about individuals and groups, can affect treatment adherence, physician-patient relationships and long-term health outcomes across populations. Such bias is not limited to clinicians, but includes all staff members in health care settings, and must be addressed on all fronts in order to provide respectful and quality care to all.
Monday, December 16, 7:30 to 10:30 AM, St. Joseph Mercy Oakland, Pontiac
