The New England AIDS Education and Training Center Program's Connecticut Local Partner Site invites you to attend a session of our newest training series, The NEAETC Professional Development Training Series. This series includes interactive, engaging sessions designed to help enhance the professional development of folks working in the HIV Syndemic fields. The slogan of the series is "Advancing HIV Care by Empowering Providers."
Session Title
"The Science of Everyday Decisions"
Session Description
This introductory session combines research, reflection, and practice to help participants see how bias shapes everyday choices. Using clear examples tailored to the audience and industry, the session makes abstract science concrete and relevant. Participants engage in interactive discussions and reflective exercises that surface hidden patterns in decision-making, from hiring and evaluation to daily interactions. Evidence-based tools are introduced throughout, giving participants strategies they can immediately put into practice. The result is a session that sparks conversation, deepens understanding, and provides practical steps toward more deliberate, values-aligned decisions. This session is a powerful starting point for HIV professionals seeking a clear, research-based introduction to implicit bias and decision-making, especially those looking for immediate, practical strategies they can apply in their daily work.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the session, participants will:
- Understand the core science of implicit bias and decision-making.
- See how small, everyday decisions accumulate into larger organizational outcomes.
- Practice simple strategies to pause, reflect, and improve decision quality in real time.
