I enjoyed taking this course. It was helpful to have interactive videos and being able to select different scenarios. I also liked that you could go back to see the most effective option.

Exceptional
I found the course very helpful and even though I felt as though I had a clear understanding of racial issues, I know now that there are many things that I can do to ensure that racial disparity is taken into account with every interaction.

Ending Racism
I thought that this course was more relatable to the one that we did in the past. You could see how these situations (sadly) could happen in our or any institution. I thought that the recommendations were manageable and actionable. Overall, great course.

Helpful to get other's perspectives
The course was very informative on some ways how other's can be affected by institutional racism. I agree with other's comments that we should all be sure to take pause and consider how what we are going to say or do may impact others and if they treat the other with respect.

Disturbing that the cases were all real. I can totally see this happening in our institution. I hope to be more of an upstander in the future (sometimes this feels hard to do as a small Latina woman)

Unbelievable But Reality
When taking this course, I was not aware of the scenarios I was going to be presented. I have taken this course before; however, the scenarios were not as relatable and unsettling. I appreciate the diversity within the scenarios as I was able to understand each side more, especially co-workers mistaking a black woman expressing her concerns and standing up for herself as an "angry black woman". Sadly, this was the reality of what people go through within the healthcare system. There are many micro-aggressions and those who are not aware of how they present themselves or how their words affect others. At moments, I do worry that addressing racism, micro-aggressions, diversity, etc will be taken the wrong way by certain people (but I still find it necessary). This course was not so that everyone at every moment needs to think about someone's skin color and "stand up" for the experiences/situations others face. This course was for awareness, educating oneself, and adding a sense of empathy and openness. I have witness people taking topics such as this one too far and making matters even more uncomfortable and offensive. The intention was there, but the execution was poor. In order to reduce those moments, I hope others take this course seriously and apply when needed or when necessary. Do not focus all of your interactions based on what you've learned. You can use it as an open discussion while being respectful, if you have other questions or apply this to situations that occur around you. I do agree that these courses should be annual. Re-educating staff about these types of situations are vital to creating a comfortable and welcoming community on an institutional level which is reflected onto our patients.
I will definitely answer any comments I receive and would love to have a conversation with anyone about this course. I also offer a listening ear for anyone who needs it! :)
