Beyond Performative Allyship: Using Empathy as a Bias Mitigation Strategy

This interactive session will provide an overview of the concept of choice points and sharing power as a means for engaging in non-performative allyship. Participants will do a deep dive into the practice of empathy as bias mitigation strategy through a video case study and breakout room discussions.

Following the session, participants will be able to:​

• Describe choice points and sharing power to engage in non-performative allyship
• Recognize the impact of an individual’s lived experience on the clinical encounter​
• Identify behaviors perceived as aligned with implicit bias and empathy​
• Practice perspective taking​
• Develop strategies to recognize and mitigate implicit bias in clinical settings

The Hopkins Health Equity Group meets at noon on the first Thursday of each month. We look forward to you joining the conversation!
