I agree that this was well put together.  It was also helpful to see how to address a patient who is exhibiting racist behavior.  I see this far too frequently.

I do believe that most everyone we work with comes at this problem with a desire to do the right thing.   

Adding a dimension of education and an opportunity for discussion is an important step forward.

I think it is important for everyone to recognize and confront racism. We must all work together to dismantle racism and create a more equitable and just society.

I would be interested in seeing depictions of racism in other sectors domains, like finance, data analytics, and so forth. I would also be interested in seeing instances of racism for remote workers.

This was a very well put-together course, and I appreciated how much time was taken to go in-depth in the situations shown.

Emily Nguyen replied on

The course gave me more words and alternatives to use when presented with this situation.

The content was very well put together and highlighted various issues that one can face within healthcare and everyday life and how we can address and combat those institutions to make the workplace and patient interactions more inclusive and meaningful.

The content provided in these modules was incredibly well put together and really helped shed light on the systemic racial issues throughout healthcare, and really in any professional setting. I found the lessons especially helpful because they encouraged learners to consider all perspectives and be confident in their ability to stand up against injustices in professional settings where they might otherwise feel fearful of retaliation, judgment, or embarrassment. It is important that we all take the time to reflect on our own perspectives and behaviors, own our faults and previous mistakes, and take the necessary steps towards equality, advocacy, and respect in the workplace and beyond.

The content here was well-done and I appreciated the fact that portions were interactive. It was nice that the video clips were short and allowed me to stay focused and really commit to the training. 

Kimberly Mace replied on

Agree, and what was particularly potent about the messaging is that it comes from colleagues and co-workers who have experienced those exact scenarios which brings a reality to the need to be aware of racial biases and microaggressions and how to be a part of the change.

I appreciated the metaphors relating to the gardening in terms of the red and pink flowers; a powerful illustration for systemic racism.
