Implicit Bias: Impact on Maternal Health in Minority Populations
Presented by Calista Kelly, PT, DPT, ACEEAA, Cert. MDT
Text
Course: #2360Level: Introductory1 Hour
This course examines how implicit bias and structural racism contribute to disparities in maternal and infant health among minority populations in the United States.

Learners explore the most recent national data on these disparities, including the populations at highest and least visible risk, and the everyday clinical moments where bias is most likely to influence care. The course then turns to practical, evidence-informed strategies that individuals, teams, and systems can use to recognize and reduce the impact of bias and structural racism on childbearing patients and their infants.
