N2  - Introduction: Clinical teaching cases are a cornerstone of health professions education programs, but cases historically have lacked diversity and have the potential to reinforce essentialism. In this article, we describe the creation, implementation, and feasibility assessment of a professional development workshop aimed at integrating an existing bias reduction tool into discussion and revision of teaching cases.
Methods: Six 60-minute workshops were held introducing “The Race and Culture Guide for Editors of Teaching Cases” to different health profession education programs wherein all participants worked in small groups to critique and edit two sample teaching cases. To assess initial feasibility, facilitators completed a facilitator evaluation survey to capture experiences after the first three workshops. Due to positive feedback, workshops were continued, and participants completed a participant evaluation survey to understand learner impact.
Results: Facilitators (n=6) identified the workshop as addressing an important need, highlighted the value in small-group format, and noted their ability to facilitate future sessions. Participants (n=18) rated the workshop as useful, effective at challenging biases, and would recommend the workshop to others.
Conclusion: The purpose of this study was to understand the feasibility of implementing a discussion-based workshop integrating a bias reduction tool. Initial feasibility and acceptability assessments demonstrate that this workshop can be useful in addressing a current need, is feasible to implement, and engaging to learners.
