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.

Thank you for the opportunity and privilege to learn and grow. Such programs help us to become a better person and a better organization.

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.

The scenarios added so much to my appreciation of implicit bias.

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.

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!!!

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

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
