Members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and others (LGBTQ+) community often experience significant disparities in health outcomes and barriers to health care access.

Mitigating Implicit Bias CME

UAFP, with a grant from the AAFP Center for Diversity and Health Equity, is offering this course for ALL healthcare providers seeking to better understand the impact of unconscious bias and how to reduce negative effects of implicit/unconscious bias on patients.

“Implicit bias has been demonstrated as pervasive among health care professionals and having harmful effects on patient health. However, formal medical education and training is often void of curriculum that provides a framework for identifying and reducing implicit biases in clinical practice. Faculty that seek to incorporate the topic often face barriers, such as a limited number of subject matter experts that can provide instruction, lack of opportunities where participants can observe and demonstrate mitigation strategies in practice, and lack of opportunities to engage with patients who can share experiences of encountering implicit bias in clinical settings.”
~ AAFP Center for Diversity and Health Equity/The EveryONE Project

When: Saturday, September 18, 2021 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM

Where: In-person at the University of Utah Alumni House AND Virtual through Zoom
