In the second episode of the Health Equity in Pediatrics series, we explore implicit bias as unconscious attitudes and stereotypes held against a group that may even be contrary to one’s stated beliefs. Identifying your implicit bias is a best practice that can enable you to limit its impact on your behavior and prevent harm from altered clinical decision making that is based on preconceived notions. In this episode, we discuss examples of how implicit bias can impact health care in children and the skills that provider’s can hone to combat its influence.
