Forward10/14/20: Power of the Pen - How You Can Reduce Bias in Your Written Evaluations and Letters of Recommendation (and therefore make the world a better place)
This session will be a live webinar hosted via the Zoom Meeting platform.
This session focuses on how medical educators can identify and reduce bias in learner evaluations and letters of recommendation. Participants will review current data on the topic and discuss the implications for learners as the impact of bias may get "amplified" over time. Specific strategies for identifying and eliminating subtle (and not so subtle) problematic language, and creating equity across learners, will be discussed.
This session will demonstrate the application of learning principles and will focus on the Core areas of Evaluation and Effective Feedback & Inclusive Teaching.
Target Audience
