Implicit bias refers to the systematic error in thinking—outside of conscious awareness or control—that affects decisions and judgements (Hall et al., 2015).  Unfortunately, even health care professionals are not immune to implicit biases.  According to a systematic review conducted by Hall et al. (2015), implicit racial/ethnic bias among health care professionals against Black, Hispanic/Latino, and dark-skinned people was at low to moderate levels, similar to the general population.
