Academic Medicine, 01/02/08
Berger J - There is a strong presumption in the medical literature that clinicians are neutral operators governed by objective science and are unaffected by personal variables. Yet, there is a body of research that finds physicians' practice patterns are influenced by their own demographic characteristics, and patient care is affected by the demographic concordance or discordance of the physician-patient dyad. The author discusses this existing literature to illustrate the presence and importance of the impact of physicians' demographic characteristics on the care they provide and discusses strategies to mitigate this influence
