Health disparities have remained stubbornly entrenched in the American health care system—and in Just Medicine Dayna Bowen Matthew finds that they principally arise from unconscious racial and ethnic biases held by physicians, institutional providers, and their patients.
Implicit bias is the single most important determinant of health and health care disparities. Just medicine offers us a new, and innovative plan to regulate implicit biases and eliminate the inequalities they cause, effective, and to save the lives they endanger.
