I appreciated the different perspectives in this lesson. Often I feel like it's easy to focus on patients who are racist or say inappropriate things, but it's important to shift the focus back to employees and how we can create a better environment for all staff.

I found this training to be incredibly well done. It was very informative to be able to experience the same institution from multiple different perspectives, and I really appreciated how realistic each situation was. I often wanted to replay each scenario out multiple times, as I learned so much with each different outcome!

I agree wholeheartedly! I appreciate insight into everyone's perspectives and biases. Also, how each video highlighted the different outcomes for many situations. Every answer will not work for every situation, but taking the time to listen, understand, and speak up will make all the difference

This was incredibly well done. I often wanted to review each of the different outcomes for the given scenarios to see how they all played out.

Agree. Well, put together presentation and explored all perspectives and outcomes. Well done

Devin Maximus replied on

I agree that this was much needed. It highlighted many experiences of racisms and different perspectives that we need to be mindful of. Also, speaking up when/where it counts the most. 

Devin Maximus replied on

This curriculum showed that we must speak up for our colleagues, because often times there are stipulations or blatant/underlying racism/reasons why they cannot speak up for themselves. If we notice something, we should process the situation and think of how we can assist them. Speak with our colleagues to understand their perspectives and providing support. Even if they do not look like us. If everyone did this, this would be a great start at tearing down institutional racism.

This is an important topic for all levels of healthcare.

The videos pertaining to Carolina's experiences reminded me of some of the experiences my father faced when he first moved to America and as a result, I felt at peace towards the end knowing that this training covers many microaggressions immigrants face.

I really appreciated the nuances of this course and the interactive features. This challenged me in a positive way to continue to improve at being present with and addressing microaggressions and other forms of violence when they come up at work, even when its stressful or painful.
