This workshop focuses on developing your skills to reduce barriers and disparities in access to and delivery of healthcare services.

Research on decision-making reveals that when individuals are highly aware of their decision-making process, they can see how non-determinant data influences their thinking. This awareness improves healthcare decision-making by teaching practitioners to develop a more extensive set of choices to reach their intended outcomes.

Experiential learning is integral to the workshop and the participant’s learning experience. This session includes simulated experiences that transform participant behaviors through awareness. The experiential learning model builds insights by having participants do the actions in a training space that reduces biases in decision-making. Participants have many opportunities to experience their unconscious bias and priming bias directly.
