BACKGROUND Implicit bias is an ingrained, unconscious cultural stereotype that can negatively affect a person's interactions with members of stigmatized groups, including sexual and gender minorities. Clinician implicit biases may negatively impact the quality of patient care. METHODS This article uses 4 case scenarios to illustrate how implicit bias among psychiatrists and other clinicians can affect patient-clinician communication and diminish the quality of health care provided to sexual and gender minorities people. We offer strategies for clinicians to recognize, challenge, and address implicit bias. DISCUSSION Through continuing education, self-reflection, and practice, psychiatrists and other clinicians can improve communication and foster more affirming care experiences for their sexual and gender minorities patients, with the ultimate goal of addressing and ultimately eliminating sexual and gender minorities health disparities.
