The scenario’s were really good examples of racism or what racism could look like in a work environment and showed different ways to address racism in the work place, it was a really good video to watch especially to bring awareness!

The videos gave me different insights regarding racism

It is so important to discuss this topic and every workplace should require something like this.

I thought the course was very informative, especially opening your eyes to scenarios which you may not even realize you are putting others in. It is important to always be mindful before speaking with someone and make sure equity and inclusion are a top priority.

I really liked the different scenarios shown, it showed not only racism from POC’s point of view but also how racism could be in people’s lives without them realizing it.

I thought it was well put together-- but the implication was that while there are nuances to the experience of ethnic and racial discrimination, that all people who are white or in a place of privilege are essentially coming from the same place.  This leaves out ways that someone may be perceived as white or privileged yet also feel insecure, vulnerable to exclusion or judgment, and even may have an ethnic or racial identity that isn't superficially evident

I like to consider myself a good ally to those that face experiences different than mine, but this had good reminders that the priority should always be on the person who is being negatively impacted first, and my role second.

A nice cinematic experience detailing the varying perspectives in each situation

This course allows individuals to recognize the disparities that are overlooked within the work setting and it therefore catalyzes change.

The course has been valuable because it recognizes diversity and justice.

Having been on both sides this topic mostly unknowingly it was a good to see different ways to handle multiple situations.

This was a video with diverse but very possible scenarios that could happen in the healthcare setting.

I thought the four different scenarios provided an honest dialogue across various point of views. I agree that the scenarios were an engaging way to commence discussions and foster a positive workplace.

The course was put together nicely and the videos display real life events that directly apply to this issue. It was nice to work through the course.

Really captured all the little ways racism might affect people and the small and big things that can be done to step in the right direction.

Kathryn Tilak replied on

I was genuinely shocked at the beginning of the course to find that all of the scenarios were taken from real-life scenarios. Moreover, I appreciated that MGH took the time to interview people to develop and put together this training. It's impact on me will not be forgotten nor taken lightly.
