Learning Experiences to Raise Nursing Awareness of Implicit Bias on Health Outcomes for Black Persons

Despite efforts towards progress, Black persons continue to face disparities and inequities in access to healthcare, health outcomes, and quality of care. Nurse educators are ideally positioned and equipped to provide effective educational interventions to raise awareness of implicit bias and improve health outcomes. This concept-based learning experience was developed using an evidence-based translational framework (the Knowledge-to-Action Model). This innovative pedagogical approach used a flipped-classroom paradigm with active learner engagement and facilitated dialogue to raise awareness of implicit bias in nursing.
