CEUfast, a leading provider of online continuing education for nurses and allied healthcare professionals, is proud to announce the release of its latest course, Stigma, Discrimination, and Bias Toward Patients with HIV.
The course investigates the critical issues of stigma, discrimination, and bias in healthcare settings as they relate to patients living with HIV/AIDS. It is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and tools to provide equitable and respectful care.
Course objectives include:
- Explaining the meaning of stigma, discrimination, and bias.
- Identifying three risk factors for developing HIV/AIDS.
- Determining how stigma, discrimination, and bias negatively impact individuals with HIV/AIDS.
- Recognizing various forms of bias and stigma within healthcare.
- Outlining strategies to combat stigma and foster inclusivity.
- Comparing ways to recognize and address implicit bias in practice.
- Identifying steps providers can take to prevent implicit bias at the organizational level.
This course is particularly timely and relevant, as states such as Nevada now require two hours of training in stigma, discrimination, and unrecognized bias towards persons who have acquired or are at a high risk of acquiring HIV to be completed. CEUfast's course is designed to meet these regulatory requirements while also promoting best practices and compassion-driven care.
"As a company founded by nurses for nurses, we are committed to offering education that empowers professionals to care for every patient with dignity and respect," said Julia Tortorice, CEO of CEUfast.
The course is now available in CEUfast's course catalog and can be completed online. It offers two contact hours and is designed to meet Nevadas continuing education requirements. However, it is applicable to other states and professions interested in learning more about health equity.
