Implicit Bias Education and Emergency Medicine Training: Step One? Awareness

摘要

ObjectivePrior research suggests that health care providers are susceptible to implicit biases, specifically prowhite biases, and that these may contribute to health care disparities by influencing physician behavior. Despite these findings, implicit bias training is not currently embedded into emergency medicine (EM) residency training and few studies exist that evaluate the effectiveness of implicit bias training on awareness during residency conference. We sought to conduct a mixed‐methods program evaluation of a formalized educational intervention targeted on the topic of implicit bias.
