Evaluating the Impact of Gender, Race, and Training Year on Internal Medicine Residents' Experiences Across the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Prior studies have highlighted experiences of bias within resident training based on trainees' gender and race and high rates of burnout. However, few studies have addressed the intersection between bias and wellness for residents in internal medicine (IM) programs. This study explores how race, gender, and training year affect IM residents' bias experiences and well-being.

Methods

An anonymous survey with questions evaluating demographics and resident experiences of bias and perceptions of wellness and self-efficacy was distributed to 596 IM programs across the United States. Sixty-nine programs sent out the survey to their IM residents. Respondents to the survey included 176 residents. Descriptive analyses and χ² tests were performed.
