Medical "conscience" law empowers any health professional to deny treatment or services if doing so violates their moral or ethical beliefs.

Unless there is some really woke ideology in the anti-bias training, you're right, it is par-the-course for most jobs.

There's not. At my last two jobs it was called "unconscious bias" training. Basically, EVERYONE has some stereotypes of certain types of people buried in their brain, and you have to recognize that because these people are going to work for/with you and you have to treat them like you do everyone else.
WoKe!!1!

The unconscious and subconscious are two distinct phenomena. The unconscious is a process that happens automatically and is not available for introspection. The subconscious, by contrast, is part of our consciousness process that is not actively in focal awareness.
To me, this feels like a response to the growing number of doctors and scientists who have been pushing back against the woke ideology on podcasts social media. Like the military, the criminal elite wants to infiltrate (more so) the medical establishment.

There wouldn't be anti-bias training without stereotypes, and there wouldn't be stereotypes without at least some truth.
What Are Unconscious Biases?
Unconscious biases are stereotypes or assumptions that a person makes about a certain group of individuals outside of their own conscious awareness. The Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity explains ā[t]hese biases, which encompass both favorable and unfavorable assessments, are activated involuntarily and without an individualās awareness or intentional control.ā These biases are influenced by a variety of factors, including the personās culture, background, and personal experiences.
Implicit biases exist because a personās āconscious brainā can only process about 40 bits of information per second, leaving the āunconscious brainā to process the rest. To do so, the āunconscious brainā continually runs in the background and quickly filters, prioritizes, and categorizes information, so that the āconscious brainā can focus on the information it deems most important. When this process is applied to the characteristics of groups of people, the brain creates stereotypes. When people apply these stereotypes to interactions and decisions about others, it can lead to discrimination. When this occurs in the workplace, employers and employees face multiple problems.
Unconscious biases about certain groups can have serious impacts on peopleās lives. For example, unconscious biases can impact the job posting and hiring process. A 2020 study found that hiring managers gravitated towards candidates who were similar to them, leading men to hire men, as they tend to see them as more ācompetentā than women. These biases can also impact professional interactions. A 2017 healthcare industry study shows that bias amongst healthcare professionals is common and that it reduces the quality of patient care.

Cry me a river. Go work at ANY corporation or reputable establishment with a large amount of employees, and you'll get the same training.
