    The Stritch School of Medicine-Office of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion invites you to participate in this free training webinar, on addressing bias, eliminating discrimination, and ensuring LGBTQ+ inclusion for patients and providers in health professions learning environments¿hosted by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation.

    More Information:

    Harmful bias and discrimination continue to be pervasive in health care, fueling inadequate treatment of patients. But it¿s not just patients who suffer. Health care professionals and students also experience prejudice and discrimination that cause harm and limit their career opportunities.

    To accelerate efforts to address harmful bias and eliminate discrimination within health professions learning environments, the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation convened more than 40 health professions education leaders, faculty, and students to map a path forward. The recommendations provide a roadmap to help health professions schools and clinical practice sites take action on equity, diversity, and inclusion to ensure a better future for our patients and for the next generation of health care providers.

    Join us for an in-depth discussion of the recommendations and action steps that health professions educators, health care system leaders, doctors, nurses, and students can take to address this issue.
