ABSTRACT

In this article, we address the limitations of existing implicit bias interventions as a strategy for achieving maternal health equity. We then focus on how institutionally sanctioned racial stereotyping harms Black maternal health and marginalizes a key group in the fight for health equity—Black physicians. Finally, we provide strategies to address racial bias in perinatal health care and structural barriers impeding Black physicians’ success.
