It was interesting to read how the hospital policies and procedures related to the scenarios, but then also be reminded that the first step is speaking up.

I liked that the course was interactive. You could play out evert scenario by selecting a response and realize it wasn't the best choice or confirm it was in fact the right choice.

I enjoyed taking this course. It was helpful to have interactive videos and being able to select different scenarios. I also liked that you could go back to see the most effective option.

I found the course very helpful and even though I felt as though I had a clear understanding of racial issues, I know now that there are many things that I can do to ensure that racial disparity is taken into account with every interaction.

I thought that this course was more relatable to the one that we did in the past.  You could see how these situations (sadly) could happen in our or any institution.  I thought that the recommendations were manageable and actionable.  Overall, great course.

The course was thoughtful with the use of divergent scenarios to illustrate individual responces

The course was very informative on some ways how other's can be affected by institutional racism. I agree with other's comments that we should all be sure to take pause and consider how what we are going to say or do may impact others and if they treat the other with respect.

Disturbing that the cases were all real. I can totally see this happening in our institution. I hope to be more of an upstander in the future (sometimes this feels hard to do as a small Latina woman)
