“The Impact of Unconscious Bias in Healthcare”
 
Unconscious bias, also known as implicit bias or implicit social cognition, refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions and decisions in an unconscious manner. We will examine how unconscious bias  impacts healthcare delivery and discuss strategies to reduce unconscious bias within healthcare teams and in treating patients.
 
Participate in this dynamic conversation with Sherri-Ann Burnett-Bowie, MD, MPH from the MGH Center for Diversity and Inclusion at the 2018 MMS Resident & Fellow Section Annual Meeting, and elect your Resident/Fellow leaders for 2018-2019!
 
Registration includes a four-course dinner and two drink tickets. $10 for members and $20 for non-members/guests.
