A Conversation About Individual Implicit Bias
This is the first webinar in a series on health equity.
All children deserve an equal chance to grow and thrive, but too often, obstacles to health, such as poverty, access to quality education and healthcare, discrimination, and personal bias get in the way.
Addressing the persistent inequities in our health systems will take the concerted efforts of many individuals-public health professionals, nurses, clinicians, policymakers, community advocates, and families, among others. Because, while health disparities are rooted in the structures of our systems, change begins with each one of us.
This is why NICHQ is launching a series of webinars to support individuals who are pursuing equity within the health system. If you have ever felt overwhelmed by where, to begin with tackling such a complex subject, we invite you to register for our first webinar and join us in what will be an ongoing conversation.
Specifically, this webinar will provide:
- An overview of health equity and implicit bias, and their impact on children's health
- A modeling exercise to explore how to recognize and address individual implicit bias
- Resources and guidance to help attendees continue this journey after the webinar
Featured Speakers include:
Elizabeth Cote, MD, MPA, NICHQ Chief Health Officer
Stacy Scott, Ph.D., MPA, NICHQ VP of Health Equity Innovation and Founder of the Global Infant Safe Sleep Center (GISS Center)
Pat Heinrich, RN, MSN, CLE, NICHQ Executive Project Director
