Through the simulation of people in different positions, I learned much about how we should act in the hospital.

It can be difficult to put yourself in someone else's shoes, don't be afraid to do some research on the side to help educate yourself.

The videos were very well put together as somebody mentioned previously on this forum. It also helped me empathize with the "characters", as well as the sentiment that diversity in healthcare teams can improve the overall patient and community outcomes. I am glad it was a part of our training.

By watching these up to date and accurate videos, I have a better understanding on how I can help increase diversity in our institution. It is so important to see people for their culture and celebrate that, while treating everyone with the same respect, consideration, and equity,

It is truly our every day actions and decisions that perpetuate or discontinue the daily microaggressions of racism. Paying attention to your daily actions can be an uncomfortable but necessary process for growth and success.
