Association Between Resident Race and Ethnicity and Clinical Performance Assessment Scores in Graduate Medical Education.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the association between internal medicine (IM) residents' race/ethnicity and clinical performance assessments.

Method

The authors conducted a cross-sectional analysis of clinical performance assessment scores at 6 U.S. IM residency programs from 2016 to 2017. Residents underrepresented in medicine (URiM) were identified using self-reported race/ethnicity. Standardized scores were calculated for Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education core competencies. Cross-classified mixed-effects regression assessed the association between race/ethnicity and competency scores, adjusting for rotation time of year and setting; resident gender, postgraduate year, and IM In-Training Examination percentile rank; and faculty gender, rank, and specialty.
