Although awareness of implicit bias and its influence on providers and patients is increasing, the effects of implicit bias on the field of pediatric hematology-oncology are less clear. This Special Report reviews the literature on implicit bias in pediatrics and medical oncology and further provides case examples and suggestions on what can be done to address implicit bias. There is a need for further research on how implicit bias impacts the complex care of pediatric hematology-oncology patients.
