Overcoming Implicit Bias in the Age of COVID-19
Doximity - "In my work in palliative care, I try not to make assumptions. I start each patient encounter like I start a new book or movie: I settle in and let them tell me the story. I allow a narrative to unfold; I lean in, engrossed as I experience something that is not about me. This is not my story, I tell myself. I can’t presume to know what leads a person to do the things that they do, act the way they act, or make decisions in the manner they have. I take what they tell me at face value, and try to hold my judgments at bay. When it comes to COVID-19, however, that work gets complicated." Read more...

This new learning series breaks down vaccine science, outlines critical vaccine processes, and equips you with information to assure concerned patients and colleagues.
