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.

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.

I agree it was well-put, informative and was a good way to learn since it was interactive.

Lauren McAlister replied on

The content was very important on a topic that in this political climate is even more so difficult and uncomfortable to have. But, THAT is why it is imperative that we have them. Only real lasting change comes with time, patience, empathy, and the willingness to grow. 

Caterina Lanni replied on

The viewpoints of the 4 different individuals was a very effective way of explaining the different aspects of systemic racism.

Michael Griffin replied on

The training was well organized and understandable 

Michael Griffin replied on

Concepts were delivered in way that was insightful and understandable 

Michael Griffin replied on

After viewing the 4 scenarios, I was able to better understand the racism that exists in medical settings to people of many diverse backgrounds and knowing that it's not okay and that it's important to stick up for yourself and for others who are being mistreated. 

Tina Awad replied on

The 4 videos emphasized the importance of being aware of racism in the work place and it is important to stick up for yourself and others if mistreatment occurs
