Medical Education Grand Rounds Special Session: 1st Annual Integrated (UME, GME, Graduate School) Faculty Development Session Topic: “Racism among the Well-Intentioned: Causes, Relationship to Health Disparities, and Interventions” Speaker: John Dovidio, PHD, Carl I. Hovland Professor of Psychology and School of Public Health, Dean of Academic Affairs of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Yale University Join us to hear Dr. Dovidio’s work that centers around issues of social power and social relations, both between groups and between individuals. He explores both conscious (explicit) and unconscious (implicit) influences on how people think about, feel about, and behave toward others based on group membership. He conducts research on aversive racism, a contemporary subtle form of prejudice, and on techniques for reducing conscious and unconscious biases. His research further explores how the bias of health care providers and perceptions by members of traditionally disadvantaged groups of being stigmatized affects medical interactions, decisions, and outcomes.
