Overview
Join the Modern MedEd hosts as they explore how holistic review can help to reduce the impact of implicit bias in the residency application process. Dr. Leslie Hardy Hood reviews key excerpts from her interview with special guest Dr. Laura Minikel. What does implicit bias look like in letters of recommendation, and how can letter writers and application reviewers recognize and address their own biases? How does holistic review work, and how can a program train and prepare application reviewers on this method? And, how can a holistic review process enacted at an institutional level help to advance equity in women’s healthcare for patients and providers?
