A Tool to Assess Bias, Racism, and Allyship in the Healthcare Learning Environment

This study developed and implemented a new survey tool to assess bias and racism across three medical education environments, medicine, dentistry, and nursing, demonstrating its relevance across fields with differing curricula and cultures. While small differences related to institution, minority status, gender, and class year were noted, the tool's wide applicability provides a baseline for institutions seeking to assess bias within their learning environments.

Abstract

This study developed and implemented a new survey tool to assess bias and racism across three medical education environments, medicine, dentistry, and nursing, demonstrating its relevance across fields with differing curricula and cultures. While small differences related to institution, minority status, gender, and class year were noted, the tool's wide applicability provides a baseline for institutions seeking to assess bias within their learning environments.
