Implicit Race and Gender Bias, Bias Awareness, and Impact of a Course for Clinical Faculty
Description:
This study evaluated an online course for academic teaching faculty titled, Implicit Bias in the Clinical and Learning Environment. The course was originally developed by members of the team as foundational implicit bias education for teaching faculty. We recruited a national sample of academic clinicians (physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners) to measure clinician implicit and explicit attitudes about race and stereotypes about gender, pre and post course measures of bias awareness, and the quality of pre and post course patient centered communication. We elicited clinicians’ reflections on the impact of the course on their teaching and practice and development of strategies to improve patient care and teaching.
