Understanding how bias develops in all of us can lead to the possibility of managing student perceptions as they prepare for an EMS career. Introducing topics of stereotype and racism is a difficult but necessary challenge in the EMS classroom, and we'll discuss how this can be accomplished to the benefit of patient care.
Learning Objectives:
Explain how and why bias is considered an inherent human trait.
Discuss how managing bias through reflection and action can lead to improved learning outcomes.
Identify at least two learning activities that can be used in the classroom to surface bias.
