Capers Q 4th
In an attempt to help us navigate a complex world, our unconscious minds make certain group associations on the basis of our experiences. Physicians are not immune to these implicit associations or biases, which can lead physicians to unknowingly associate certain demographic groups with negative concepts, like danger, noncompliance, and lower competence. These biases can influence clinical decision making in ways that potentially harm patients and may unfairly influence the medical school, residency, and fellowship application processes for candidates in certain underrepresented groups. To minimize the potential negative impact of implicit biases on patient care and diversity in the medical profession, physician-leaders have a responsibility to understand biases and how to consciously override them. This article discusses the potential impact of implicit bias in health care and student/trainee selection and reviews research-proven tools to reduce implicit bias in one-on-one interactions.
