Diversity plays a significant role in healthcare experiences, with under-represented communities facing challenges in securing top medical jobs. Studies have shown disparities particularly affecting Black residents and under-represented minority women. Intersectionality is a key concept to consider in addressing these inequities. A study published in JAMA in 2024 examined racial and gender disparities in chief resident selections in emergency medicine, highlighting the need for workforce equity and leadership opportunities. The lack of systematic criteria for chief resident selection and limited data on the impact of race, ethnicity, and sex further hinders progress in addressing racial inequities in medical education and career growth.
