Residency Programs Face Scrutiny Over Trainee Discipline, Underrepresented Groups Disproportionately Impacted

Notably, concerns have been raised about the disproportionate impact on underrepresented groups. Some observers suggest that while medical schools have made strides in diversifying their student bodies, these gains are not always reflected in the residency system. This raises questions about equity and inclusion within postgraduate medical training.
