“…Female applicants were also more likely to attribute increased significance to additional factors such as culture, inclusion, and diversity more than men in a previous study. 8 An increase in the visibility of female physicians within specialties and the percentage of their representation as program directors within a specialty have been shown to be correlated with the percentage of female physicians entering a specialty. 9,10 Moreover, medical students' exposure to sex discrimination influences female students' choice of specialty more than for male students; as a result, female medical graduates may be less likely to pursue an academic career.…”

“…A residency program’s ability to attract diverse resident physicians may also be influenced by the extent of its program diversity. One study found that resident and faculty URM representations were correlated [ 35 ]. In another study, women who attended medical school with higher numbers of orthopedic female faculty and residents were more likely to apply for a residency in orthopedics—a specialty that has had an extremely low representation of women [ 36 ].…”

Within this article, we explore the dual impact of two pandemics, racism and COVID-19, on the career and psychological well-being of diverse faculty within academic medicine. First, we present a discussion of the history of racism in academic medicine and the intensification of racial disparities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the syndemic of racism and COVID-19, the outlook for the recruitment, retention, and advancement of diverse faculty and leaders within academic medicine is at risk. While mentoring is known to have benefits for career and personal development, we focus on the unique and often unacknowledged role that mentoring can play as a buffer for women and people of color, especially when working in institutions that lack diversity and are now struggling with the syndemic of racism and COVID-19. We also discuss the implications of acknowledging mentoring as a buffer for future leadership development, research, and programs within academic medicine and health professions.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had a significant impact on undergraduate medical education with limitation of patient care activities and disruption to medical licensing examinations. In an effort to promote both safety and equity, the emergency medicine (EM) community has recommended no away rotations for EM applicants and entirely virtual interviews during this year’s residency application cycle. These changes affect the components of the EM residency application most highly regarded by program directors – Standardized Letters of Evaluation from EM rotations, board scores, and interactions during the interview. The Council of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine Application Process Improvement Committee suggests solutions not only for the upcoming year but also to address longstanding difficulties within the process, encouraging residency programs to leverage these challenges as an opportunity for disruptive innovation.
