The MMA is now offering private workshops for healthcare organizations to make implicit bias training available to their physicians and healthcare providers. This work is part of the MMA’s initiative to advance health equity and address the health disparities that persist throughout the state.
In the 2-hour interactive workshop, participants will examine implicit bias in healthcare settings, understand how it contributes to health disparities, and learn practical strategies for mitigating the effects. 2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™ are available. Both in-person and virtual options are available.
The workshop can be booked to suit an organization’s schedule; participants will be limited to those within the organization. For more information and how to schedule a private workshop, contact Haley Brickner, MMA health equity coordinator.
