This study published in JAMA Network Open evaluated gender bias in surgery.
Dr. Dinee Simpson is Northwestern Memorial Hospital’s first female, African-American transplant surgeon. Unless you are a cinder block or some other inanimate object, you have implicit bias. Just like body odor or flatulence, it is part of being human and can be a problem if you don't recognize it. should be further evidence of the implicit gender bias that health care professionals have. The question then is not whether implicit bias exists, but instead what to do about it.
More insidious and thus more difficult to deal with is implicit bias. This is bias that you have unconsciously, without you even realizing it. For example, you may claim or even believe that you are"open-minded" but a closer look shows that your behaviors don't match your words. If you ever claim that you are completely unbiased, then you are either extremely self-unaware, lying, or a cinder block.
To measure explicit bias, the project asked participants directly “How strongly do you associate career with males and females” and “How strongly do you associate family with males and females”? “strongly female” and seven being “strongly male.” The difference between the answers to the two questions then measured the level of explicit gender bias.
Results from this first part of the study confirmed that both explicit and implicit gender biases existed among health care professionals. Take a wild guess as to which direction these biases faced. Yes, even though there are plenty examples of women with careers and men taking care of families, health care professionals tended to both explicitly and implicitly associate men with career and women with family.
“How strongly do you associate family medicine with males and females”? The IAT portion had participants sort words such as"family medicine" and"surgery."
