This was very useful to explore in different health care roles and race/ethnicities. As a woman of color, I appreciate this.

Sorry that these scenarios took place.  Hopefully we can become a place where we listen and value each other not based on the color of our skin.

The four varying scenarios were helpful to see different ways that people react and different ways to respond to situations more appropriately and professionally while keeping other people's feelings, perceptions, values and morals in mind.

I liked this course. Diversity in the work place should always be respected.

I am trying to complete my health streams and this is one of the last things to do. Is this just an open forum in relation to the videos of scenarios  about institutional racism?

Very well put together! The 4 different scenarios helped create the big picture and tie the course altogether.

This training module presented four scenarios that were well-thought out and so important. It is so important that our staff members learn these important skills and to stand against racism and discrimination. Job well done!

Eye-opening videos exploring different views of what racism is or is interpreted as.

Nice portrayal of all the different view points. Also good to see the more obvious trangressions to the more subtle microaggressions.

The content was excellent. The different scenarios and perspectives were a valuable look into the situation from several different angles.

The four scenarios presented gave a different, but all equally important perspective on these very real problems in the workplace.

I'd love to see it come into practice everywhere, but it honestly seemed like an idealized version of how things should work. It's already a systemic cultural issue, and there's a disparagingly low number of POC in my particular setting, and even then, I generally see those POC in my hospital not in care giving rolls, but rather food service and janitorial positions. Problem being that many POC are systemically blocked from obtaining care level careers from more than just our private institutional racism.
