The authors disclose that this work received no sources of funding, although we all receive salaries from our respective institutions, which develop, accredit, and promote Continuing Professional Education programs in Canada. Furthermore, all authors declare that they have been influenced by their life experiences, which in turn create real and potential unconscious activations of stereotypes. While not financial in nature, these implicit biases shape who we each are, what we can say (or, perhaps, not say), and how and why we present this work to the CPD community.
