Scenarios presented were useful in seeing how structural racism and microaggressions can be detrimental to careers and workplace ethos.

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.

I appreciated these well done videos.  I have also thought this article was helpful for how to address microagressions : https://hbr.org/2022/05/recognizing-and-responding-to-microaggressions-at-work

I like the there were four different video scenarios. I think they were all very informative. There is always room for education. People need to be held accountable, but also be given continuous education. We need to support and stand up for one another.

I enjoyed the different perspectives offered by the learning module.  It's always a good lesson to step into someone else's shoes.
