GHHS members of the Central Michigan University College of Medicine chapter developed 4 short video vignettes with the hopes of sparking conversation about structural racism and implicit bias within medicine. During this one-hour session, we facilitated discussion among conference participants after presenting each video. Aims: 1) To explore bias in pain assessment of patients with limited English proficiency 2) To question the validity of treatment decisions based on race-based lab parameters 3) To discuss possible ways to address bias in a group setting, whether as a recipient or bystander 4) To identify the limitations of a “customer service” model when a request appears racist.
