  • Letters of Reference in the Current Era

    Open AccessMichael Gottlieb, Dowin Boatright et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2024

    Letters of reference (LORs) are a common component of the application process for residency training programs. With the United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 transitioning to pass/fail grading and with the increasing use of holistic review, the potential role of LORs is rising in importance. Among some key benefits are the ability to provide a broader and more holistic view of applicants, which can include highlighting elements of ex…

  • Ensuring Fairness in Medical Education Assessment

    Open AccessDowin Boatright, Richard A Taylor et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2023

    We have reached an inflection point in medical education’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The challenge we face—and will continue to face for the foreseeable future—is to keep moving forward despite the impediments, including a health care system and workforce depleted by the pandemic and by ongoing political, social, economic, legislative, and legal pressures that make it difficult to act. But in difficult times such as th…

  • The Long Shadow

    Open AccessNientara Anderson, Mytien Nguyen et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2023

    To dismantle racism in U.S. medical education, people must understand how the history of Christian Europe, Enlightenment-era racial science, colonization, slavery, and racism shaped modern American medicine. Beginning with the coalescence of Christian European identity and empire, the authors trace European racial reasoning through the racial science of the Enlightenment into the White supremacist and anti-Black ideology behind Europe’s global sy…

  • Piloting web-based structural competency modules among internal medicine residents and graduate students in public health

    Open AccessMax Jordan Nguemeni Tiako, Farah Rahman et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Introduction Fewer than half of internal medicine program directors report any health disparities curriculum. We piloted a web-based healthcare disparities module among internal medicine (IM) residents to test effectiveness and feasibility, compared to a convenient sample of graduate students enrolled in a public health equity course. Methods IM residents participated in an in-person session (module 1: introduction to racial and ethnic health dis…

  • The Creation of Classism in Medical Education

    Open AccessT R Wyatt, Mytien Nguyen et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2022

    Previous research has noted that first-generation, low-income (FGLI) medical students experience “everyday forms of classism” because their social backgrounds are different from the typical medical student. 1,2 The reason for this difference is often described as FGLI students not having the right social capital 3 in the elite profession of medicine. 4 This study argues that not just any social capital creates classism in medical education, but s…

  • Professional Identity Formation Among Diverse U.S. Medical Students

    Mytien Nguyen, Hyacinth R C Mason et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2022

    Professional identity formation (PIF) is described as “a multifactorial phenomenon, shaped by ways that clinical and non-clinical experiences, expectations and environmental factors merge with individual values, beliefs and obligations.” 1 Data suggest that students’ personal characteristics factor in the PIF process. 2,3 This study examined how socioeconomic status (SES) (measured by generation college status [first-generation college graduate (…

  • Demographic Differences in Medical Students’ Perceptions of Respect for Diversity Among Faculty

    Jasmine Weiss, Lilanthi Balasuriya et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2021

    Faculty role modeling is critical to medical students’ professional development to provide culturally adept, patient-centered care. The behaviors displayed by faculty can directly influence students’ attitudes and behaviors and is considered a part of the “hidden curriculum.” 1 However, little is known about students’ perceptions of faculty role modeling of respect for diversity. The purpose of our study was to examine the perceptions of faculty …

Methods Longitudinal study of Washington Post data on fatal police shootings in t…

  • Men of Color in America—An Endangered Species

    Inginia Genao, Dowin Boatright et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2020

    It was a snowy day but my clinic was open for business. I had a new patient—a 23-year-old man—on my schedule. Based on his age and the inclement weather, I assumed he would not come to the appointment. To my surprise, he came early. When I entered the examination room, he was sitting up straight, wearing a do-rag, a thick gold necklace, and a white short-sleeve T-shirt that showed off his well-defined musculature. His arms rested by his side with…

  • Medical Education’s Wicked Problem

    Catherine R Lucey, Karen E Hauer et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2020

    Despite a lack of intent to discriminate, physicians educated in U.S. medical schools and residency programs often take actions that systematically disadvantage minority patients. The approach to assessment of learner performance in medical education can similarly disadvantage minority learners. The adoption of holistic admissions strategies to increase the diversity of medical training programs has not been accompanied by increases in diversity …
