A 2203 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires implicit bias training for physicians.

This bill requires all licensed physicians in New Jersey to complete two hours of implicit bias training every two years. The training must teach physicians to recognize and reduce unconscious bias in patient care, include current research on bias in medicine, and focus on improving health outcomes. The Department of Health will create a list of approved training programs, and the Board of Medical Examiners will ensure physicians complete the required training within two years of the law's effective date and biennially thereafter. It directly affects all physicians licensed under New Jersey's medical practice laws.
