Introduction/AimsImplicit bias can impact physician–patient interactions, alter treatment recommendations, and perpetuate health disparities. Medical educators need methods for raising student awareness about the impact of bias on medical care.SettingSeventy-two third-year medical student volunteers participated in facilitated small group discussions about bias.Program DescriptionWe tested an educational intervention to promote group-based reflection among medical students about implicit bias.Program EvaluationWe assessed how the reflective discussion influenced students’ identification of strategies for identifying and managing their potential biases regarding patients. 67% of the students (n = 48) identified alternate strategies at post-session. A chi-square analysis demonstrated that the distribution of these strategies changed significantly from pre-session to post-session, including reductions in the use ofinternal feedbackandhumanismand corresponding increases in the use ofreflection,debriefingandotherstrategies.DiscussionGroup-based reflection sessions, with a provocative trigger to foster engagement, may be effective educational tools for fostering shifts in student reflection about bias in encounters and willingness to discuss potential biases with colleagues, with implications for reducing health disparities.
