This program was very illuminating and represents what we as an institution (MGH, HMS) have been striving to work on. I have taken several different implicit-bias training programs, but this one drove home the intimate details of what we and our colleagues experience.

It is so important to recognize the biases we have and that we bring to our workplace. I have been challenged to recognize these biases and have learned so much from programs like this—about myself, my colleagues, and my institutions.

I have witnessed improvements in our sensitivity to racism and bias during my decades at the MGH. We are such a stronger institution now, and we strive to continue to grow in this important domain.

Content was well put together and very informative

I agree that the scenarios were helpful - more than I would have expected.  Some of the characters were very exaggerated, and I wish there were some examples of the millions of more subtle aggressions that we perpetrate.  Still, it was helpful.  I thought my own physical reaction was as educational as anything - a reminder that there are physical health consequences of injustice.

The videos were very well put together and gave good insight into different perspectives.

Being able to see all 4 different scenarios really made an impact on how I can help my collegues and friends and learn how to really stand up for one another.

Jessica Morse replied on

I felt it was very important for this topic to be apart of our trainings and should be continued for years to come.

Jessica Morse replied on

Scenarios are a helpful way to put yourself in someone's. shoes and see what you would and should do if a similar situation were to arise in the workplace. Very helpful

Very thoughtful and well-put-together scenarios to convey what people of color experience.  I can identify with each scenario and it helps me to understand my biases as well.  Thank you!!!

Case based presentations of blatant vs subtle racism 

Shreya,M.D. Shrestha replied on

All examples were very helpful and reflected real life situations

Christine Dundon replied on

I feel like the scenarios are very realistic. This training is very necessary. Sometimes just to start conversations. Communication is key.

Babalwa Mweli replied on

It is sad to hear that these situations have happened to people within our own hospital system. Very eye opening ad even more motivating to stand up against racism
