Good course with real life examples of micro aggressions/racism. Valuable for all in the system.

I appreciated how it was emphasized that these scenarios are based on real incidents that happen within our system. I have sometimes heard the sentiment that racism isn't a problem at MGH and that simply isn't true.

Excellent course. The multiple different characters in the videos were very well done.

The vignettes were helpful in identifying words and actions that one may see as harmless, but another is quite offended by.  Food for thought.

This course seemed very thoughtful to me--even though it was painful at times to think about how I might sometimes not see everything my colleagues experience (I'm white). It really opened my eyes and gave me empathy about this very entrenched problem.

The scenarios were very engaging and covered a wide range of incidents within a broad cross section of people.

It was a little preachy and goofy, but It was entertaining. Some confrontational scenes were a little to aggressive and uncomfortable.

The course was very informative, and I think all workplaces should do the same courses with their employees.
