Most practices and hospitals are working hard to embrace the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I). Promoting DE&I culture in a medical setting is often harder than it seems. Physicians will learn about how DE&I can help lead to optimal health and medical treatment for all patients; promote appreciation of colleagues and medical staff; bring out the ideas and talents from staff who may be overlooked, and avoid one's own unrecognized bias that could impair working relationships. This course will cover:

• What the terms diversity, equity, and inclusion actually mean, and the benefits of promoting DE&I in a medical practice;
• Types of unrecognized bias — explicit, implicit, and perception bias — and how these biases affect healthcare;
• How to promote DE&I in your organization, and the key elements that training should encompass;
• The importance of DE&I in patient care; and
• Dealing with resistance to DE&I from colleagues and staff.
