Symposium - Education Initiative on Unconscious Bias in Health Care

This symposium brings together educators, programme leaders, researchers, clinicians, and everyone interested in advancing equity in health professions education. It offers a unique opportunity to connect with colleagues from across Switzerland, explore current research, discover practical teaching approaches, and exchange experiences on integrating unconscious bias into curricula.

Whether you are already working on these topics or are looking for inspiration to get started, we warmly invite you to join us for a day of learning, dialogue, and collaboration.

This symposium marks the conclusion of a project that aims to discuss educational initiatives and approaches to increase awareness and competence regarding unconscious bias in healthcare.
