Microaggressions and implicit bias occur frequently in medicine. No previous study, however, has examined the implicit bias and microaggressions that emergency medicine (EM) providers experience. Our primary objective was to understand how often EM providers experience implicit bias and microaggressions. Our secondary objective was to evaluate the types of microaggressions they experience and whether their own identifying characteristics are risk factors. ⋯ EM providers, particularly women and non-Whites, who responded to our survey experienced and witnessed bias and microaggressions, most commonly misidentification, in the ED.
