Why this Matters
The plaintiffs allege that a California state law requiring medical education courses to include implicit bias training violates their right to free speech under the First Amendment. Efforts aimed at addressing bias in the health care profession can lead to better patient care and improved health care outcomes.
Potential Impact
Limiting policymakers’ ability to formulate policies addressing bias in the medical profession will perpetuate the poor quality of care received by patients, especially members of marginalized communities.
