Building Belonging in a Healthcare Setting
Bias and Belonging
Unconscious bias occurs in every part of our lives and in any environment we’re in. Oftentimes, we make quick judgements and assumptions about others based on how they look, especially in a busy, healthcare setting. But once a biased situation or comment is made, how can others jump in and create a sense of belonging?
Microlesson Description
In this microlesson, we illustrate how to address unconscious bias by building belonging in a healthcare setting. Creating a sense of inclusion and belonging is a skill that can be developed and provides a better, healthier workplace experience for everyone. We show an example of how a doctor uses his privilege to stand up for his colleague to combat bias and course correct the disrespectful behavior.
