African American women must navigate higher education, in particular, clinical doctoral programs, as a gendered racial minority. These women often endure multiple levels of discrimination to obtain their degree. Findings of this study highlight these experiences and suggest the importance of increasing supports for African American women in clinical doctoral programs. Practices and supports should be put in place so that students of color are not marginalized because of their race.Las mujeres afroamericanas tienen que pasar por la educación superior, y particularmente en programas de doctorado clínico, como una minoría racial y de sexo. Estas mujeres sufren con frecuencia múltiples niveles de discriminación para poder obtener su titulación. Los hallazgos de este estudio destacan estas experiencias y sugieren la importancia de incrementar los apoyos para mujeres afroamericanas en programas de doctorado clínico. Deberían implementarse prácticas y apoyos para que las estudiantes de color no sean marginadas por su raza.Palabras clave: mujeres afroamericanas, programas de doctorado clínico, discriminación, ecología, resiliencia R acial disparities are present in higher education for African Americans compared with majority group members. For example, among women who received doctorates, 6.9% were Black, 6.9% were Latina/Hispanic, 52.6% were White, 22.0% were Asian, and 0.2% were American Indian or Native American (National Science Foundation [NSF], 2017b). Although women are more represented than men in clinically focused doctoral programs (see Table 1), there remains a racial disparity among graduates from these programs (NSF, 2017a). To understand the experiences of African American women in these programs, this study focused on the overall environment and experiences of African American women.Although African American women receive more graduate degrees than African American men, there are costs associated with these achievements.
