It is important that physicians come from different races and backgrounds so that the impact of implicit biases can be reduced. It is also imperative that physicians and other healthcare providers openly talk about implicit bias and discuss how it may affect them and their patients. In order to reduce the effects of implicit bias, knowledge of implicit bias needs to be built into the educational and training process for future physicians and healthcare workers. With honest and open discussion, physicians can understand and identify certain biases they may have, and methods and strategies can be created to mitigate the impact of implicit bias on patient diagnosis or care.
