Implicit bias exists in all professions. In a healthcare setting, implicit bias — unconscious attitudes that result in unintentional discriminatory behaviors — can contribute to healthcare disparities experienced by members of racial, ethnic, or religious minorities.
Implicit bias training can help healthcare professionals and facilities work toward ending healthcare disparities for better patient care, so CA has made it a licensing requirement for registered nurses.
Is California Implicit Bias Training Required for Registered Nurses?
California’s HB 1407 went into effect in January 2023 with the aim of reducing implicit bias in healthcare settings.
AB1407 amends continuing education (CE) requirements for new registered nurse licensees to require these licensees to complete implicit bias training within the first two years of licensure.
It also requires hospitals to implement an evidence-based implicit bias program in their new graduate training program.
