Of the four stages of learning, has this first part created awareness around unconscious or conscious biases? Did you identify areas of strength for yourself or perhaps areas that could use improvement? It is important to note that learning is a continual process, if you are hovering in the “mastery” stage, there will always be “ouch” stage moments to continue your development to become the best healthcare provider you can be.
Where do you find yourself in this sphere?
-
Are you in the Fear Zone where you avoid hard questions, where you strive to be comfortable?
-
Are you in the Learning Zone where you recognize racism is present and a current problem where you're vulnerable about your own biases and knowledge gaps?
-
Are you in the Growth Zone where you promote and advocate for policies and leaders that are anti-racist, that you don't let mistakes deter you from being better?
