the research presented in this course was done in a way that seemed to assume implicit bias as the only variable (or at least implied it was the main variable) for disparity in health care outcomes, while in reality there are many variables - and that fact seemed to be intentionally ignored. in my opinion, this can lead people to believe that a well intended physician who actually is culturally competent and intentionally aware of biases, who has a range of patient outcomes (as all physicians do), should attribute negative outcomes only to their biases if that pt is culturally or racially different. as we know, there are many, many other variables that could have affected negative health outcomes for this patient, including implicit biases, though the way this research is presented, it's leading to the assumption that implicit bias is the cause for disparities in outcomes. a more thorough presentation on factors affecting healthcare options should be provided so that a patient and physician can appropriately educate patient's on all important factors, as patient's play a key role in their own health over time, not only a physician's implicit bias. so this isn't to be taken as implicit bias is not important, as it very much is.

this is the best presentation i have had in the many summit classes i have taken. well organized, straight forward. she defined non common terms. at the end she effectively used examples to illustrate the concepts. there could have been more of that but i realized she had to work within the time alloted.
