Effectiveness and Significance of Publication:
|
The purpose of the Small Group Reflection Exercise is to increase the awareness of unconscious stereotypes, and the negative impact of such stereotypes on the quality of healthcare provided. This exercise was used with 114 second year medical students in groups of 10-15 participants with one facilitator. After completing the exercise, 49% of students agreed and 44.7% strongly agreed (93.7% combined) that they were more aware of the influence of unconscious stereotypes and assumptions on providing effective patient care. Additionally, after completing this exercise 41.7% agreed and 49% strongly agreed (90.7% combined) that they were more aware of their own personal stereotypes and assumptions regarding groups different from themselves. This exercise is an effective first step in any cultural competence curriculum to improve participants' awareness of unconscious stereotypes they might have about different cultural groups.
