Implicit Bias Monthly Training Series
The MSMS Foundation is working with state-wide experts in diversity and equity on our brand-new curriculum for our monthly training series. A one-hour webinar will be recorded and available on the MSMS website. This session will have one-hour of CME. However, to meet the implicit bias requirement, physicians will need to return for a live, online virtual session. These will take place once per month. Anyone who has completed the archived recording, can choose one of the live sessions to complete the implicit bias credit. They will receive another half credit for the live session. Please note, the implicit bias requirement for licensure has the additional criteria of a live component and pre and post assessments and differs from the other mandated CME areas.
