Description
This activity will provide a live discussion as well as presented lecture material on the topic of bias for naturopathic physicians. Facilitated small and large group discussions with Q&A sessions moderated by Kami Hoskins, Esq, will highlight inclusivity and awareness of participant’s experiences with bias and social identity, and how they inform their experiences as a physician and patient. Participants will also be equipped with theories and language to identify implicit bias, recognize micro-aggressions, and tangible tools on how to effectively interrupt them to help better serve their communities and optimize patient care.
