Relating to continuing education in cultural competence and implicit bias for certain physicians.
AI Summary
This bill requires certain physicians, specifically those practicing in the areas of general practice, pediatrics, obstetrics, or gynecology, to include continuing medical education (CME) in cultural competence and implicit bias as part of their license renewal process. The bill defines "cultural competence" as the ability to effectively address the health issues of individuals from diverse backgrounds, and "implicit bias" as the unconscious associations or stereotypes that can influence behavior. The Texas Medical Board is directed to adopt rules to establish the content of this required CME training by December 1, 2023, and the bill takes effect on September 1, 2023.
