Implicit Bias in Clinical Decisions

One focused hour on how implicit bias shows up in clinical decisions: intake, diagnosis, risk assessment, and referral, with pre and post self-assessment and concrete debiasing practices. Built in the recorded format some state mandates require.

What the course covers

  1. Where bias enters clinical decisions
  2. Pre and post self-assessment
  3. Debiasing practices with evidence behind them

After this course you will be able to

  • Identify decision points where implicit bias operates
  • Apply structured debiasing practices to clinical decisions

Who this course is for

  • Michigan licensees with the implicit bias renewal requirement
  • Clinicians in other mandate states (Illinois, New Jersey, and more)
  • Anyone who wants the evidence honestly stated, limits included

How it works

Self-paced 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 in your account.

Common questions

Does Michigan accept this?
Michigan LARA sets content and format standards rather than pre-approving providers. This module is built to those standards; check the eligibility line for current status before relying on it.
One hour: what actually fits?
Where bias enters clinical decisions (intake, diagnosis, risk, referral), a pre and post self-assessment, and debiasing practices with evidence behind them.
Is the science overstated?
No. The course teaches the implicit bias evidence including its genuine debates, because clinicians deserve the honest version.
