Harvard Medical School Gender Bias Study

The Harvard Medical School Gender Bias Study investigates whether doctors' perceptions and treatment of patients differ based on gender. It examines if unconscious biases influence clinical decisions, diagnoses, or communication, potentially leading to disparities in healthcare quality for men and women. The study aims to identify and address these biases to promote equitable medical care, ensuring that gender does not impact patient outcomes and that all individuals receive the appropriate attention and treatment.
