Overview: In DC Health’s second module on implicit bias, the concept of implicit bias is overviewed and then expanded on through five scenarios. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from these realistic situations that take place in healthcare settings and review the reasons certain interactions display bias. These interactions may take place at any point during a patient’s care, from a scheduling phone call to the recording of symptoms, and these interactions can even take place amongst coworkers. This implicit bias module recreates healthcare encounters and provides learners with concrete examples so that they may lead the change in creating healthier work environments.

Overview: This course overviews the history of antibiotics and how antimicrobial overuse has led to a public health emergency in our communities. Presenters overview the concept of antimicrobial stewardship and its core elements.

For both syndromic and system-level stewardship, proper implementation practices will be reviewed. This module provides 1.5 hours of CME.

Overview: This module provides an overview of implicit bias, and how it is manifested in everyday clinical decision-making.
