Addressing Bias in Medicine (QI Program Term 1 2021)

In 2002, The Institute of Medicine identified provider-held unconscious bias as one of the 3 root causes for racial or ethnic health disparities, with access and mistrust being the other two.  As part of the Department of Medicine’s Anti-Racism Strategy, we will begin to address provider-held unconscious or implicit bias during Term 1 2021 of the MGPO Quality Incentive Program. QI Program-eligible physicians will be asked:

  1. To take the Race ('Black-White') implicit association test (IAT). 15-20 min
  2. To participate in a case-based module to learn about unconscious or implicit bias and understand its impact on the delivery of clinical care. This module will include a discussion of microaggressions and provide a framework to address microaggressions. 30 min
  3. To provide 3 changes to their practice that they will implement based on this learning 5-10 min
