Cultural Competency and Implicit Bias in Dentistry 2 Hours
Implicit bias refers to the subconscious attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions, often without our conscious awareness. These biases can influence behavior and judgments in ways that may not align with our explicit beliefs or intentions. Culturally competent care in dentistry requires that professionals explore their implicit biases and cultural beliefs.
This course will explore cultural competency and implicit bias and their pervasive impact on various aspects of society, including the dental office and healthcare. Through a combination of self-assessment tools, interactive case studies, and practical strategies, learners will explore the subconscious biases that influence their decisions and behaviors. The course aims to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize and mitigate these biases, fostering more inclusive and equitable environments in both personal and professional settings.
This course will award 2 continuing education hours.
