Podcast: Moving from recognizing implicit bias to creating action

In this podcast, Priya Bathija, vice president of AHA’s strategic initiatives is joined by Zsakeba Henderson, M.D., senior vice president and interim chief medical and health officer of March of Dimes to discuss why we must educate and train health care professionals, nursing and medical students about implicit bias, but also begin to stimulate action.
