Virtual Grand Rounds: Beyond Implicit Bias: Providing Care within an Inequitable System
There is no dispute that racial and ethnic disparities in mental health care exist. This presentation by Patricia Harrison-Monroe, PhD will provide a review of historical factors that continue to influence the disparate care provided to ethnic and racialized minority groups within the United States. Barriers to equitable treatment will be discussed with specific focus on the role of providers in mediating existing bias.
