Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of identity awareness workshops on medical trainees and professionals.
  • To enhance critical thinking about social and professional identities for improved patient interactions.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted 6-month identity awareness workshops for medical students, faculty, staff, and residents.
  • Utilized identity wheel activities, readings on professional identity, and inequity modeling exercises.
  • Administered pre- and post-surveys to evaluate changes in awareness.

Main Results:

  • First-year medical students (N=88) showed increased awareness of social identity, professional identity, and concepts of privilege and difference.
  • Workshop participation positively impacted learners' acknowledgment of professional relationships and societal inequities.

Conclusions:

  • Identity awareness training prepares learners for culturally inclusive patient interactions.
  • Early implementation of these exercises allows for greater reflection on identity development.
