Ethics and Professional Issues PLUS Implicit Bias Awareness Training
Interactive and virtual event!
Friday, July 21, 2023
According to the Administrative Code, Section 1130.500 "all health care professionals who hold a professional license listed in this Section (this includes all PT and OT professionals) shall complete a one-hour course in implicit bias awareness training. Implicit bias is a form of bias that occurs automatically and unintentionally, that nevertheless affects judgments, decisions, and behaviors."
