Investigating Unconscious Race Bias and Bias Awareness Among Vascular Surgeons.

These findings offer important considerations for attentiveness to both unconscious biases and enhancement of awareness of the existence of biases among a surgery community that provides care to a diverse population of patients with PAD and disparities in health outcomes.Incorporating information on the awareness of biases and structural changes to facilitate behavior change based on these findings may be helpful within training programs for vascular surgeons.With awareness as an important first step in mitigation, cognizance of the existence of biases, as identified by this study, can aid in efforts to minimize racial disparities in health care.
