  Overview

  As pharmacists or healthcare providers, implicit bias can influence our judgement, perceptions and actions. The impact of this bias can be failure to communicate with the patients that we serve and contributions to barriers to healthcare access and disparities in the delivery and access of healthcare services. This session will define the concepts of implicit bias its impact on equitable access to health care. By summarizing current research, this program will provide pharmacists with methods of addressing implicit bias and strategies that they can employ to enhance access to care in their patients as well as their abilities to reduce health disparities.
