Responding to Microaggressions

Wilkes-Barre, PA US
April 30, 2024

This is a live, in-person educational activity. A survey of Geisinger residents and fellows show, learners are all too frequently the targets of biased behaviors on the part of patients and their loved ones, as well as on the part of their colleagues on health care teams. This workshop reflects an effort and desire to help learners more effectively navigate these difficult, potentially harmful situations by empowering them with knowledge and skill. However, this workshop is not just an intervention, conceived as a solution to this recurrent, widespread problem. It is also an effort to challenge learners to deepen their awareness of their own usually unconscious (or “implicit”) biases--and of the sometimes silent, but often adverse impact of bias on others and themselves.

 

Target Audience

This activity is designed for physicians of any specialty who are involved in teaching residents, fellows and students. The workshop is designed to help these educators to improve their own skills in responding to microaggressions, and to pass on knowledge and skills to their learners.  Other learner groups such as all other Geisinger staff would also benefit from this education. 

Learning Objectives

At the completion of this course, the participant should be able to:

  • examine personal biases including unconscious bias
  • practice recognition of bias, discrimination and prejudice in the clinical setting
  • develop and practice responses to a microaggression, with the aim of maintaining relationships with colleagues and patients but lessening the impact of the microaggression
  • improve comfort and skill in leading a team debrief in response to a microaggression
 

Course Cancellation Policy
