Meets the IL Licensing Education Requirements for 1-hour of Implicit Bias Education.

Bias—both conscious and unconscious—can influence how we interpret information, make decisions, and interact with patients, learners, colleagues, and communities. Learning to recognize and interrupt these patterns is an important step toward creating environments where individuals feel respected, included, and able to contribute fully.

This interactive session invites participants to reflect on how bias can shape everyday interactions, workplace culture, and healthcare experiences. Together, we will explore how common patterns of “algorithmic thinking” can reinforce bias, how bias and power intersect in professional and clinical environments, and how individuals can pause, reflect, and respond more intentionally in the moment.

Throughout the session, participants will explore:

• How algorithmic thinking can contribute to individual bias
• The impact of bias on inclusion, belonging, and workplace culture
• The relationship between bias and power
• Practical strategies for mitigating the harms of bias in everyday interactions and decision-making

Relevant to individuals across WashU Medicine regardless of role or rank, this session may be particularly valuable for healthcare professionals seeking to strengthen inclusive practices in clinical, educational, and workplace settings.
