    The introductory course talked about the unconscious biases which are often reflected in our daily lives, in corporate culture, and in the world of healthcare. It tackled some ways to prevent biases from clouding one's judgement. While I knew these beforehand, I find this course to be a great tool for a beginner looking to understand unconscious bias in real life to move on further complicated topics on the same.
  • Sana Nadeem
    It was a very useful course in identifying our hidden prejudices and helping us overcome these to make it better for everyone.
  • Jordan Wiseman
    Very easy to navigate and informative. 1 hr of self paced information, easily understandable. I would recommend this to all healthcare providers.
