OIDE Virtual Workshop: Mitigating Impact of Unconscious Bias on the Selection Process — Presented by the Perelman School of Medicine Office of Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity (OIDE)

About

Participants will learn fundamental psychological approaches such as stereotyping threat, unintentional blindness, and selective attention, along with traditional diversity approaches that emphasize micro-advantages and micro-inequities. The training challenges participants to review organizational systems and identify opportunities to mitigate bias and advance diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Key Takeaways:

• Examine your own background and identities to interact more authentically with colleagues, clients, and the community.
• Explore how the brain functions to recognize unconscious bias as a natural function of the human mind.
• Identify patterns of unconscious bias and navigate their impact on inclusion and decision-making.
• Learn strategies and practices to reduce the impact of individual bias on the selection process.
