Abstrakt: Purpose: To implement an implicit bias awareness and action seminar program for the University of Utah Health pharmacy residency program and measure knowledge, awareness, and comfort around race-related topics.
Summary: An implicit bias awareness training program was implemented with a pre- and post-training survey to measure knowledge, comfort, and confidence around understanding and addressing biases. Fifty-one residents and preceptors participated in the implicit bias training, and 47 (92.2%) consented to take the survey. Twenty pharmacy residents and 27 preceptors attended at least 1 of the 4 training modules and completed the pre- and/or post-training survey. Eighteen of 20 residents (90.0%) and 19 of 27 (70.4%) preceptors completed the pretraining survey (37 total), while 11 of 20 residents (55.0%) and 10 of 27 (37.0%) preceptors completed the post-training survey (21 total). On the post-training survey, more correct answers were obtained for knowledge-based questions and a higher number of responses of strongly agree or agree was observed when assessing participants' comfort and confidence in addressing personal biases, bringing marginalized people into a conversation, addressing biased situations, and intervening when bias is observed.
Conclusion: After training, higher scores were attained on the survey for overall comfort and confidence in addressing personal biases and identifying and acting on witnessed biases.
