This event is presented in conjunction with the Health Sciences Libraries online presentation of the Politics of Yellow Fever in Alexander Hamilton’s America exhibit sponsored by the National Library of Medicine. The exhibit was initially intended to make a stop at Temple University’s Ginsburg Health Sciences Library during September 2020. In light of the coronavirus pandemic traveling exhibits were paused. The relevance of the topic to the current situation is clear and we decided to move ahead with a local virtual exhibit, workshops and speaker events.
All students at the Health Sciences Center Campus will become practicing healthcare workers. They will be confronted with issues similar to those that medical practitioners faced in the time of the yellow fever epidemic, such as how politics can impact medical care. Biases can occur through all stages of the literature search process: from the way study results are reported, to how books and articles are indexed in library catalogs and databases, and to dangerous algorithms in search engines. In this workshop, you will learn about implicit bias in health sciences research, and we will offer strategies for how to avoid these biases. This will help students, faculty and healthcare practitioners find unbiased information to use in their clinical care and to advocate for their patients.
