As healthcare professionals it is important to acknowledge the significance of diversity, inclusion, and cultural awareness within the healthcare system. They offer a pathway towards improved health outcomes and help to decrease health disparities; yet it goes beyond race and ethnicity. It is important to consider the backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of others to help create an environment that represents the rich, diverse, unique world in which we live. Embracing diversity and inclusion efforts in healthcare can lead to cultural competency and help healthcare practitioners meet the unique needs of their patients. Unfortunately, a lack of understanding of individual biases, stereotypes and microaggressions towards others can impact these efforts. This course will help health care providers acknowledge and appreciate the potential promise of each person’s uniqueness and use the information to foster an inclusive environment and remove potential barriers to access to care by examining the dynamics of diversity, inclusion, and cultural competency and their connection to implicit bias, stereotypes and microaggressions. A discussion on the importance of embracing inclusion and equity initiatives to support these efforts will be had.
