Beyond the Recruitment Pipeline: A Call to Action for Centering the Success of Under-represented Minority Trainees in Obstetrics and Gynecology
Just like all aspects of the American experience, racism has had a significant presence in Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN). Black physicians in OBGYN face unique challenges in training programs, having to learn a specialty while combating racial macroaggression and microaggressions constantly and, often, in isolation. We present the stories of black OBGYNs who have sustained such an experience while also offering equitable and actionable solutions to improve clinical training environments.
