COLLABORATION BETWEEN
NATIONAL LIBRARY OF
MEDICINE, PHYSICIAN
ASSISTANTS FOR HEALTH
EQUITY, AND THE
WASHINGTON ACADEMY OF
PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS
Winter 2011 brings a new initiative
from the AAPA Health Disparities Work
Group, the National Library of
Medicine, AAPA Special Interest Group
Physician Assistants for Health Equity,
and the Washington Academy of
Physician Assistants. The effort
focuses on creating a tool for PAs and
other providers promoting awareness
of clinician bias and stereotyping. The
project also highlights related data
indicating that increased awareness
can decrease the activation of the
biases that result in unequal
treatment.
