Description
Ageism in healthcare is not a new phenomenon. Implicit bias in healthcare is not new either. Together they create an atmosphere that leads to particularly detrimental outcomes for older adults. What role does implicit bias play in health care for older adults? Is it preventable? How do we handle it in micro and macro levels of practice? Join us for this interactive, best practices discussion addressing the combined impact of implicit bias and ageism in health and mental health settings.
This course meets the requirements of HB 28: Public Health – Implicit Bias Training and the Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities.
