Summary of Strategies to Mitigate Bias for Decision Makers in Medical Admissions.

	DESCRIPTION	CURRENT APPROACH	RECOMMENDED APPROACH
CONTEXTUALIZING IDENTITY	Examining power relations and assumptions including individual and societal beliefs and values.	Prompts or triggers such as the IAT are offered to groups to think about how bias influences decisions.	Individuals are invited to critically reflect on their own identities, motivations to be involved in admissions decisions, assumptions about what an ‘ideal’ candidate would look like.
FOSTERING COMMUNITY	Groups of individuals with shared visions, learning together to achieve common goals through regular dynamic interaction	Admissions decision makers are offered training without ongoing coaching, dialogue, or contextually relevant sharing with peers.	Admissions decision-makers regularly interact with, and belong to, a safe and contextually relevant training group where they participate in dialogue about their own biases.
FACILITATING DIALOGUE	Providing spaces for continuous engagement of participants’ whole selves with the goal of enhanced understanding of themselves, each other, and the world	Training sessions include facilitated discussion; however, such discussions are not sustained.	Cultivate an open and supportive training environment where members are encouraged to engage in dialogue to question assumptions and explore new knowledge and perspectives.
