Overview

 

Presented by Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences in collaboration with Horizon

Implicit bias refers to the unconscious attitudes, thoughts, or feelings, which may be contradictory and inconsistent with an individual’s conscious beliefs. Despite the unconscious nature of implicit bias, there is evidence that it affects healthcare and workplace outcomes. “Othering” is a process of differentiation and demarcation, by which individuals or groups draw a line between ’us’ and ’them’ – and through which social distance is established and maintained. This process often acts as a barrier to creating a sense of belonging within work and learning environments. This two-hour workshop defines, explores, and helps participants understand implicit bias.
