The physician-patient relationship is crucial for quality healthcare, but it's influenced by key elements that can lead to healthcare disparities. This research focuses on:

  • Trust: the foundation for patient engagement and treatment adherence.
  • Power Dynamics: The balance (or imbalance) of authority between physician and patient.
  • Biases: how unconscious assumptions about patients impact care decisions.
