Article Synopsis
- Racial implicit bias negatively affects how physicians communicate with Black patients, leading to health disparities, and there's a need for better simulations to help doctors improve their skills in managing bias.
- The study aimed to create and evaluate a realistic simulation of clinical scenarios that could expose implicit racial bias among physicians, using a standardized patient who presented with common health issues.
- Results showed that the interaction between physicians' implicit bias scores and the race of the patient influenced how physicians were rated on their communication skills, highlighting the need for targeted training.
