The Influence of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity on the Otolaryngology Residency Experience
LGBTQ+ and female respondents perceive a worse residency environment. LGBTQ+ residents are less comfortable disclosing relationships to attendings, less satisfied with their decision to pursue Otolaryngology, more likely to consider leaving programs, and desire representation. Women are at increased risk of sexual harassment and discrimination.
