Excerpt

Crapanzano et al.1 address an important concern that medicine as a profession is only beginning to acknowledge and moves the field in a direction towards increasing awareness and unbiased treatment. The majority of the regrettably sparse literature on the subject addresses implicit racial and ethnic assumptions in medical student2 and physician3 contributions to healthcare disparities and racial and ethnic stigmatization. Similarly, there is a paucity of empirical research on implicit biases regarding mental illness and the resulting negative impact on care of this vulnerable population.4
