Implicit Bias in Healthcare
Zoom Session: Wednesday, October 30, 1 to 2 PM

Healthcare is difficult to navigate for everyone, especially in the United States. It’s made even more difficult for different demographics, including women, the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, and more. As first responders and healthcare professionals, we may not even be aware of our own subcosncious beliefs and attitudes, which may unknowingly impact how we treat those we help. Learn what implicit bias looks like in a healthcare setting and what we can do to keep our own views from impacting our work.
Presenter: Dr. JoAnne Worthington, DNP, RN-BC, OCN is a Nursing Instructor in the Health Professions Division at Cincinnati State and Community College. She is a life-long resident of Cincinnati, and her goal is to start honest conversations about bias, the realities of healthcare disparities, and how our entire local community is impacted.
