Implicit Bias 

SANE Seminar Series 

March 11  |  4-5 pm  FREE and ONLINE

 

Often, clinicians are unaware of the bias they bring with them into their clinical practice when caring for patients. Research suggests that this bias experienced by patients often causes inequities in the care provided and in the outcomes for these patients. This learning activity will discuss how care is affected when clinicians are unfamiliar with the various forms of bias that exist. Presenter Angelita Olowu, BSN, RN, SANE-A, SANE-P, Forensic Nursing Director, International Association of Forensic Nurses will help the audience identify some of the common forms of bias and provide ways to identify them through case scenarios. All healthcare providers are welcome! At the completion of this session, learners will have an increased knowledge of how to define bias and identify it within their clinical practice. 

This session meets criteria for state of Michigan implicit bias content.  CE/CNE: 1 contact hour
