State rules that name this topic
These state rules name the topic this course teaches. Two things to check before you rely on it: this course is self-paced and asynchronous, so it cannot be used where a rule requires live or synchronous training, and it is not yet CE-approved for any license. Each requirement guide shows the current rule, the hours required, and the source.

How it works
This is a self-paced, asynchronous course (home study), not a live webinar or scheduled class. Reading with optional audio, case material worked in full, and short knowledge checks along the way. The course ends with a final exam (10 questions, retake allowed) and a course evaluation. Your certificate of completion issues immediately and stays downloadable from your private course link.

Implicit Bias in Clinical Decisions
Authorship. This course was built to a specification written by licensed clinicians, with generative AI composing the first draft of the instruction, cases and assessments, and it was then reviewed by our editorial board before release. We disclose the AI drafting because you deserve to know how the material was made, and because a course you rely on professionally should never hide its method.
Refunds. Full refund within 30 days if you have not yet passed the final exam.
