What stuck out to me the most was the although the doctor and the nurse were confronted about their behavior, it was going to take them some time to understand, because they have never had to experience things like these in their lives.  Very eye opening to me because these are things that happen on a daily basis. I do think this should be a world wide training, but some will still not ever understand and never change.

I found this course very helpful in recognizing situations that we are surrounded by daily and allows us the opportunity to make corrections for ourselves and as a entity as a whole.

We are all invested in ending racisim in the workplace- b/w our colleagues and with patients- it is up to us to show and follow a good example.

My main takeaways were to listen first, use my voice to amplify those insights, and take a stand in situations of injustice.

This should be mandatory for everyone when they start employment. Would also like to see it addressed in terms of how inherent racism affects patient care. For example, I have seen over and over again that people of color complaining of pain are not taken as seriously or medicated as effectively as white people, even when the cause of pain is clear for black person (postop, for example) and not clear for white person (subjective c/o back pain, for example). Very hard to prove that this happens, but hoping that there is a study being done someplace and that it will make it mandatory for clinicians to have some training in this

The videos are on point when it comes to identifying racism. Great example in all four scenarios of each of these doctors and nurses.

The videos are very on point. Especially when it comes to each scanerio of each doctor experiencing racism.
