The Impact of an Interactive Unconscious Bias Training on Perioperative Learners.

Background: Providers' unconscious biases reinforce health disparities through negative direct patient care and interactions with colleagues.

Objective: We created a workshop grounded in Critical Race Theory and the importance of different intersectionalities to improve medical trainees' self-assessment of their implicit biases in curated facilitated spaces.

Methods: A total of 44 UCSF first-year clinical anesthesiology residents (CA-1) (95% response rate) and 23 surgery residents in their research year (77% response rate) participated in this workshop over 4 separate sessions in September 2020 and 2021.
