Why This Course?

Hundreds of studies have shown that our behavior, memory, performance and well-being can be strongly affected by being aware (consciously or unconsciously) that a stereotype about a group we belong to might affect how others see us. Simply put, we unconsciously or consciously fear that an unfair stereotype will be applied to us. This experience is called identity threat, more commonly, stereotype threat.

Research shows that stereotype threat is prevalent, can affect anyone, and has surprisingly powerful negative effects.

You may have experienced stereotype threat, even if you did not realize it at the time.

  • This learning experience will give you insight and skills to increase your confidence, improve your performance, lower stress, and improve your quality of life.

Many of your coworkers experience stereotype threat, even though they may not know it is happening.

  • This learning experience will help you understand and empower your coworkers, bring out the best in them and others, and support a vibrant and inclusive workplace.

Your racial and ethnic minority patients, patients with a disability, patients with obesity, gender and sexual minority patients are at high risk for stereotype threat.
