About the course:
This program will inform attendees of important strategies that can be used to identify, minimize or eliminate implicit and explicit bias and the many facets of each. It will describe and discuss how bias, whether conscious or unconscious, can be subtle or overt and how either can negatively affect communication with patients and colleagues. How one looks outside their own journey to see the uniqueness of other journeys is an important question that all health care professionals should ask themselves. Lack of awareness of the beliefs and feelings of others can impact care which may create unequal treatment and discrimination in health care. The need to understand others and their social determinants of health and social injustices is critical to understanding and caring for others effectively.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the link amongst implicit and explicit bias; stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination
- Describe what unconscious bias is and how it operates in both individuals and organizations
- Illustrate how implicit bias may impact the health care setting or learning environment
- Discuss strategies that can be used to minimize impact of implicit bias
Successful Course Completion includes:

What are You Doing for Heart Health?
February 2023 Blog
|
 |
The month of February is always one of the most depressing months of winter, especially here in Michigan. The days are gloomy and cold, so pushing people to make healthy lifestyle changes this month isn’t always easy. I just looked out of my office window. It’s dreary and raining today. An ugly day. Why did I even bother getting dressed? I’m working from home and have no plans to go out. I could have stayed in my pajamas for the whole day. Oh, well. Live and learn. But I do want to live…
February is American Heart Month and heart disease continues to be a leading cause of death in the United States. What can we do about it? Most heart disease can be prevented with healthy lifestyle changes and education. I know that sitting here at my computer all day isn’t all that healthy.
There is a difference between exercise and activity. “Exercise” is a conscious effort that you make to get your heart rate going faster in order to burn calories and build muscle. “Activity” is about how much you move during each day. Do you sit at the computer working all day and in front of the TV at night? Maybe you get up and go to the bathroom or get a snack every couple of hours? That is a little activity, but not much. Most people don’t move around a lot during their workday, but they may exercise on the weekend or in the evening when they have more free time. Exercise AND a decent activity level are both important for your heart. Sitting too much without movement increases your risk for heart disease.
Everyone can make an effort to spread activity out during the day even when working from home. Walk inside or outside your house every hour. Go up and down stairs multiple times. Stand and do stretches at your desk. Get moving even if it’s just a few minutes at a time. Put a timer on your phone so you don’t forget. Get out that activity tracker that you got sick of and start using it again. 10,000 steps a day. Remember? Work on reaching that goal. Move around every hour during the workday. Chasing kids around and taking care of their needs is a good activity in the evening and on the weekends. Whew! That’s great because I sure feel like it is and want to positively embrace that it is good for me.
What about motivation? Think about what would keep you motivated right now. Are you still in-sync with your New Year’s Resolution to lose some weight and get healthier? Are you planning a trip in the spring or summer? Do you have something special to go to in the coming months like a wedding or party where you’d like to look and feel your best after being cooped up for the winter? Spring and summer are just around the corner.
Heart disease isn’t something we want. There are some risk factors we can’t change, such as our sex, age or family history. Making changes to our lives is never easy for anyone, but there are a few things we can do to prevent our risk. Give some of these a try.
- Regular physical activity. Aim for 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic exercise.
- Strength training at least twice a week. Think about alternative ways on how you can gain strength at home if you can’t get to a gym.
- Eat healthy to help your heart, improve your blood pressure, cholesterol and reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes.
o Fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes
o Lean meats and fish
o Low-fat or fat-free dairy products
o Whole grains and other foods that are fiber rich
o Healthy fats
o Limit salt, sugar, processed carbohydrates, alcohol, saturated fats
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Don’t smoke
- Get a good night’s sleep
- Manage your stress
- Make appointments for your regular health screenings
- Take medications as directed by your health care provider
Think about February being American Heart Month and Valentine’s Day being right in the middle of the month. A coincidence? I don’t think so. “Hearts” are everywhere for the whole month. Whether it’s a sweet message to a special someone or flowers for yourself (because you deserve them) on Valentine’s Day, look at those “hearts” in a variety of ways. Get your red clothes out and participate in National Wear Red Day on Friday, February 3 to end heart disease and stroke in women. Promote the hearts and think about your own. Take charge of your heart health. Note to self: Go to the gym after work.
