A 3701 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires implicit bias training for physicians.

This bill requires all licensed physicians in New Jersey to complete two hours of approved implicit bias training every two years. It directly affects physicians by mandating they learn to recognize and reduce unconscious biases that may impact patient care. The training must cover current research on bias in medicine and strategies to improve health outcomes. The Department of Health will establish approved training programs within 30 days, and the requirement takes effect immediately.
