About This Session
Dr. Capers has introduced innovations to reduce bias in the admissions process every year, the most notable being 2012-2013 when all admissions committee members took the Implicit Association Test to uncover hidden racial and gender biases. The year following this exercise, the admissions committee selected the most diverse class in The OSUCOM’s history up to that point. He is the primary author on the first study to document the presence and extent of implicit racial bias in medical school admissions.
