Podcast:Promising Young Surgeon Published On: Tue Apr 09 2024 Description: In this week’s episode of "Promising Young Surgeon," we peel back the curtain on a topic that often remains hidden in the shadows of the medical community: the experience of minorities in non-diverse residency programs.Dr. Frances Mei shares her personal journey through the lens of her own residency—where her height and ethnicity made her stand out in the small, Midwestern college town she called her training ground. From being the subject of patient remarks to confronting systemic issues within the hospital setting, she opens up about the challenges that came with being one of the very few Asian residents in her program.This episode also dives into the evidence, examining racial and ethnic differences in internal medicine residency assessments and the broader implications for minority physicians in training.00:00 – Introduction01:35 – 4th Year ENT17:32 – The Evidence25:50 – Crazy Rich Asians37:00 – Looking Chinese41:44 – What’s the Point of All This?42:30 – OutroPromising Young Surgeon is sponsored by Pattern.
