ATS 2020 Advance Program

Objectives At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: • define implicit bias and describe its impact throughout medicine; • identify resources and tools available to assess for implicit bias; • describe interventions tomitigate implicit bias on an individual and institutional level. There has been increasing attention on the role of implicit bias in observed disparities inmedicine. In contrast to explicit bias, implicit biases lurk in the subconscious and affect the decisions wemake every day in clinical and other professional endeavors. To address disparities in the clinical and academic arena, we must first recognize our own personal and institutional biases. Speakerswill provide participants an understanding of implicit bias and its impact on disparities inmedicine, validated tools to identify it, and interventions available to confront andmitigate its influence.
