Regulation Matters 2021 - Issue 2, September
CDO Annual Workshops – Register now for Ethics and Professionalism: Unconscious Bias
The exceptional impact of COVID-19 has brought attention to insidious and deep-rooted inequities in the Canadian health care system. As regulated health professionals, we acknowledge that systemic racism and discrimination exist in dietetics, and this directly impacts client-centred care.
The College of Dietitians of Ontario is pleased to present this year’s annual workshop,
Ethics and Professionalism: Unconscious Bias, with special guest
Dr. Javeed Sukhera. The workshop will be held virtually in small- and large-group sessions from October 2021 to December 2021.
Dr. Sukhera will examine unconscious bias to help dietitians and students engage in dialogue, identify inherent beliefs and biases that underpin decisions, and implement strategies to support safe, competent, and ethical dietetic services. Dietitians are expected to use their judgment to form opinions and make good decisions when practising dietetics.
Join us for a small or large group workshop with a presentation by Dr. Sukhera followed by practice scenarios where we will collectively learn about strategies to recognize and mitigate unconscious bias in dietetic practice.
