California Implicit Bias Supplement
Bias doesn’t announce itself. It shows up in small, easy-to-miss moments — who gets asked twice about their pain, whose accent gets a patient reminder to “speak clearly,” whose family gets included in a care conversation and whose doesn’t. None of them usually feel biased at the moment. That’s exactly why it matters.
In this 30-minute course, you’ll learn:
- What implicit bias is, how it forms, and why California has made addressing it part of healthcare training.
- How bias can quietly show up in everyday caregiving tasks and interactions.
- Practical strategies to slow down, recognize your own patterns, and deliver consistent, equitable care to every client.
