Comparison of Male vs Female Resident Milestone Evaluations by Faculty During Emergency Medicine Residency Training.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Although implicit bias in medical training has long been suspected, it has been difficult to study using objective measures, and the influence of sex and gender in the evaluation of medical trainees is unknown. The emergency medicine (EM) milestones provide a standardized framework for longitudinal resident assessment, allowing for analysis of resident performance across all years and programs at a scope and level of detail never previously possible.

Objective

To compare faculty-observed training milestone attainment of male vs female residency training.

Design, setting, and participants

This multicenter, longitudinal, retrospective cohort study took place at 8 community and academic EM training programs across the United States from July 1, 2013, to July 1
