Conclusion

This paper serves as a brief guideline for how and why we integrate a conversation about race, racism, and implicit bias into a course like Health Care Law. As we are writing this, our country is embroiled in a difficult conversation about race, racism, and the law. Addressing the impact of implicit bias on law and policy presents significant challenges. We can begin to meet those challenges by educating law students on implicit bias and the way those biases influence the law. While a health care law course might not seem like a natural fit for this conversation, the fact is that there is no area of American society untouched by the influence of bias. Exploring implicit bias in a course like Health Care Law pays significant dividends both for students' understanding of health care law specifically and in their education as future attorneys generally.
