Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

Individuals who enter the critical care unit are at high risk for life-threatening endocrine emergencies. They can easily be overlooked because they may present with no prior history and are not routinely admitted to endocrine care units.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation to be awarded contact hours AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes. No partial credit will be awarded.
