Take a journey using Virtual Reality headsets to experience a groundbreaking solution to the long-standing problem of implicit bias in medicine. Through immersive experiences, you'll step into the shoes of patients from various backgrounds, experiencing firsthand the impact of bias in medicine. Using advanced VR technology, you'll engage in sensory immersion, perspective-taking, and body ownership illusions to truly understand the challenges faced by patients of different genders and ethnicities as they navigate the healthcare system. Program Directors will leave with a new perspective on the complex issue of implicit bias, its far-reaching consequences, and actionable steps they can take back to their programs.
