IBIAS

I BIAS™ is an evidence-based12-18 and pilot-tested Implicit Bias Clinical Education Program. Its goals are to prepare future nurses with habits to:

  1. Be aware of how implicit bias may impact the care they and others provide, and
  2. Implement bias-interrupting skills every time they provide care once they enter the workforce.
