Test Yourself

The following web resources were created to help all persons become more aware of their internal biases. Consider visiting these links, and take some of the tests, to better help you understand your own implicit biases.

 

 

Diversity is the presence of differences that may include race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, language, (dis)ability, age, religious commitment, or political perspective.  Populations that have been-and remain- underrepresented among practitioners in the field and marginalized in the broader society.

Equity is promoting justice, impartiality and fairness within the procedures, processes, and distribution of resources by institutions or systems.  Tackling equity issues requires an understanding of the root causes of outcome disparities within our society.

Inclusion is an outcome to ensure those that are diverse actually feel and/or are welcomed.  Inclusion outcomes are met when you, your institution, and your program are truly inviting to all.  To the degree to which diverse individuals are able to participate fully in the decision-making processes and development opportunities within an organization or group.

Healthcare for the Deaf

An interesting webinar on providing health info for people who are deaf – it was given by two physicians in Utah, January 12, 2023.  One physician is deaf and the other was raised by a deaf mother.  It is only about 35 minutes and said to be well worth watching for a different perspective and really makes you think about how physicians and health-care workers communicate with the deaf.

 

You can find the recording of the January 12, 2023 webinar on the event page.
