“…This difference in the sex of participants may have affected the results of our study. Twenty‐six percent of residents self‐identified as underrepresented minorities, which is higher than the 14% of U.S. EM residents self‐identifying as underrepresented minorities …”

Background: Assessment of trainees' competency is challenging; the predictive power of traditional evaluations is debatable especially in regard to noncognitive traits. New assessments need to be sought to better understand affective areas like personality. Grit, defined as "perseverance and passion for long-term goals," can assess aspects of personality. Grit predicts educational attainment and burnout rates in other populations and is accurate with an informant report version. Self-assessments, while useful, have inherent limitations. Faculty's ability to accurately assess trainees' grit could prove helpful in identifying learner needs and avenues for further development.Objective: This study sought to determine the correlation between EM resident self-assessed and facultyassessed Grit Scale (Grit-S) scores of that same resident.Methods: Subjects were PGY-1 to -4 EM residents and resident-selected faculty as part of a larger multicenter trial involving 10 EM residencies during 2017. The Grit-S Scale was administered to participating EM residents; an informant version was completed by their self-selected faculty. Correlation coefficients were computed to assess the relationship between residents' self-assessed and the residents' faculty-assessed Grit-S score.

“…6,7 Multiple studies investigating the composition of medical students, resident physicians, and faculty have revealed a dearth of underrepresented minorities in the pool of trainees and academic physicians. 3,[8][9][10][11] Based on significantly low representation in the physician workforce relative to the generation population, the U.S. Federal government has designated underrepresented minorities (URM) to include African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans. 4 Moreover, minority representation in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (OHNS) has been reported as significantly lower compared to other medical specialties.…”

“…Striving to improve diversity in the healthcare workforce, several strategies have been discussed. 3,8,10,13 Many believe that attention should turn toward improving the pipe, referring to the Pipeline Theory, stating that the lack of diversity in residency programs and faculty results from a sequential loss of underrepresented minorities when transitioning from high school to college to medical school to residency and onward. 8,13 Hence, resources have focused on increasing recruitment at the university and medical school level.…”

“…Reports of general lack of diversity in a number of medical and surgical specialties, such as radiology, oncology, emergency medicine, orthopedic surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and ophthalmology documented the continuing lack of diversity in certain specialties. 13,14,15,16,17,18 Studies have documented the significant distributional differences among primary care physicians by specialties. Family physicians constitute the largest group of primary care physicians, and their distribution is believed to be more proportionate to the population distribution than are those of other physician specialists.…”

Racial and ethnic minority physicians are more likely to practice primary care and serve in underserved communities. However, there are micro-practice patterns within primary care specialties that are not well understood. To examine the differences among primary care physician practice locations by specialty and race/ethnicity, a retrospective study was conducted on U.S. medical graduates who were direct patient care physicians in 2012. The group-specific contributions to primary care accessibility were decomposed by individual group of minorities underrepresented in medicine (URM). Results confirm significant differences not only in their distribution across underserved areas but also in their racial/ethnic composition by primary care specialties, with internist most diverse and family physicians least diverse. However, stratified analysis shows that within each primary care subspecialty, URM physicians were more likely to practice in underserved areas than their White peers regardless of specific specialties.
