Cristina Gonzalez, professor of medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is an expert in the development of skills-based curricular interventions in implicit bias recognition and management (IBRM) for physicians across the training-and-practice continuum. In 2019 the National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities awarded Gonzalez a five-year grant to design and validate novel clinically relevant outcome metrics facilitating evaluation of IBRM interventions. Early in her career she was a scholar in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program, which launched her research on interventions aimed at IBRM in clinical encounters. Gonzalez continued her work as a scholar in the Macy Faculty Scholars Program of the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation.
