Framing resident perceptions of diversity in GME: insights from a multi-specialty survey study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDespite growing efforts to address diversity in healthcare, underrepresentation persists. While many studies about diversity focus on medical students, residents occupy a unique position as both learners and educators, influencing institutional culture from multiple levels.
objectiveTo characterize resident physician perceptions of diversity in medical training, identify differences in perceived importance of various diversity attributes, and examine how these perceptions and preferences differ between Underrepresented in Medicine (URiM) residents and non-URiM residents.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey (October 2023-January 2024) via an anonymous online questionnaire distributed to residents across 55 ACGME-accredited programs within a multisite institution. Demographic and Likert-scale data on perceptions of diversity and various diversity categories (age, race, gender identity, socioeconomic status, etc.) were collected.
resultsOf 1468 resident physicians surveyed, 520 responded (35.4% response rate). The majority were between the ages of 26 and 30 (n = 289, 55.6%). Women and individuals of the white or Caucasian race were more represented (n = 309, 59.4%, and n = 283, 54.4%, respectively). Most residents agreed on the importance of diversity across various dimensions, including race, age, socioeconomic background, geographic origin, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Religious identity, disability status, and premedical employment history were seen as less important. No diversity, equity, or inclusion (DEI) initiative was universally supported by URiM participants. URiM residents perceived less racial diversity than non-URiM residents (p = 0.04).
conclusionsResidents value diversity across multiple dimensions but differ in perceptions and support needs based on identity. The variation in preferences and perceptions, particularly among URiM residents, highlights the limitations of uniform diversity interventions. Academic institutions should offer flexible, resident-informed support and address the daily experiences of exclusion that shape specialty-specific culture and career trajectories.
