Good Health and Unconscious Bias in Medicine: Is it �black and white�?. Elvonda

On Thursday, January 28 and Tuesday, February 9, WHEP will be holding a two part seminar series on the topic of unconscious bias and its impact on medical care and health outcomes.  We will begin with a conversation about discrimination, racism, and systemic bias in our healthcare system (and society at large), recognizing that we all hold unconscious stereotypes that may influence our clinical decision-making and contribute to disparities in healthcare.   

With the help of a panel of Drexel physicians, we will then explore how we as healthcare professionals and patient advocates can strive to deliver the best care and ensure the best outcomes regardless of a patient�s race, ethnicity, sex or socioeconomic status.  The only way to overcome bias is to talk about it, become more self-aware, and make changes in the way we practice medicine. 

We invite you to join the conversation!
