Beyond the Cut: The Hidden Influence of Implicit Bias

Implicit bias - it's unconscious, it's uncomfortable, and it affects patient care more than we may realize. In this powerful episode, we sit down with Darlene Murdock, Staff Nurse at Memorial Hermann Hospital, to explore how our own hidden biases can lead to unequal treatment, impact patient outcomes, and create barriers to compassionate care. Darlene shares real-life stories, eye-opening stats, and actionable steps to help us become more self-aware and patient-focused in the OR and beyond. Tune in now to take the first step toward understanding your own implicit bias! #operatingroom #perioperative #perioperativenurse #implicitbias #surgicaltechnologist #scrubtech #podcast
