General Surgery
Although bariatric surgery is an intervention proven to offer well-established benefits for obesity, notable disparities remain in referral rates, access to care, and postoperative outcomes, particularly among racial, ethnic, and low-income populations. Moreover, implicit biases in the health care setting can influence clinical decisions and patient interactions, potentially compromising quality of care, treatment outcomes, and recovery trajectories. It is essential that health care professionals identify and actively address these inequities, especially as obesity rates continue to rise and bariatric surgery becomes a more widely adopted treatment. In this CME Outfitters BriefCase, expert faculty will discuss the impact of implicit bias and structural inequities on referral patterns, access to bariatric surgery, and postoperative outcomes across diverse patient populations, as well as evidence-based approaches to reduce disparities in bariatric surgery.
