Addressing Bias

Bias is ordinary; it is not a moral failing. However, biases do have consequences; they disadvantage stereotyped groups. Unconscious bias is a positive or negative mental attitude towards a person, thing or group that is held at an unconscious level. The Medical School actively promoted training including Unconscious Bias Training (to reflect on and address biases) and Bystander Training (to inform whether and how to intervene when witnessing harassement). More information including additional reading and an introduction to Unconscious Bias can be found here Unconscious Bias.
