Racism is a behavior that we might encounter daily at work. Communication and education are the best ways to eliminate racism at work.

After viewing the scenarios from this educational activities, I will pay more attention to the feelings of my coworkers with different ethnicities.  It is goos to know that MGB has an excellent resources and supports to prevent racism at work for us.

I think it is very sad and disappointing that racism still exists in workplaces where everyone is trying to work towards the same goal, providing great care to patients. the interventions taken in each scenario are helpful tips in ways to properly handle workplace racism.

while the scenarios demonstrated various ways of addressing racism within the professional setting - what about within situations with patients like the example incident in the training (viral video)

Racism is one of the biggest problems facing the healthcare sector. By facing institutional and societal concerns and addressing them, we are promoting and fixing a system to lead to the best care for our staff and patients.
