MSDC Launches Unconscious Bias in DC Medicine Survey
Today, the Medical Society of DC launched a new survey to determine how unconscious bias may be impacting the practice of medicine in the District.
The survey was designed by the MSDC Unconscious Bias in Medicine Task Force. The Task Force, whose membership can be seen here, has a mission to determine if/how unconscious bias impacts the practice of medicine in the District and how the physician community can address these issues. The task force's first step is to launch the survey.
The survey has four tracks: medical students, fellows/medical Residents, physicians/healthcare workers, and medical administrators. Upon answering the first question, the survey taker will be automatically taken to their correct batch of questions. On average, respondents take 2-4 minutes to complete their questions.
The Task Force will take the results of the survey and write an academic paper describing the results. They will also create white papers, templates, and other materials designed to help medical practices in the District combat unconscious bias and improve medical care in DC.
