Implicit Bias Series webinar:

Structural Racism 101: Basic Training for Doctors 

Wayne State University Law School Prof. Peter Hammer will help attendees understand the dynamics of structural racism as an evolving dialectic between belief systems and institutions that have mutated in form from slavery, to Jim Crow segregation, to the forms of spatial-structural racism that define Southeast Michigan.

In the second session of this 4-part workshop series we will define and distinguish the many forms of racism that we confront: express racism, structural racism, spatial racism and forms of implicit bias.

**This session meets the state mandate for implicit bias training and includes one hour of training.**

Learning objectives: 

• Understand dynamics of spatial-structural racism from a systems thinking approach
• Explore the question: What determines the social and economic determinants of health?
• Understand possible strategies for developing "health in all policies" frameworks
