Mechanisms Driving Postgraduate Health and Social Science Students’ Cultural Competence: An Integrated Systematic Review
Conclusions
CC conceptualizations in postgraduate health and social science education tend to view cultural differences as a problem and CC skills as a way to mitigate differences to enhance patient care. However, this generates a focus on the other, rather than a focus on the self. Future research should explore the extent to which insight, cognitive flexibility, and reflexivity, taught in safe teaching environments, are associated with increasing students’ cultural safety, cultural humility, and CC.

The Best Laid Plans? A Qualitative Investigation of How Resident Physicians Plan Their Learning
Conclusions
Participants used trial and error to find learning strategies to help them manage the systemic challenges encountered when transitioning from medical school to residency. The success (or failure) of these efforts was tied to learners’ efficacy with the self-regulated learning concepts of agency, metacognitive goal setting, and motivation. A conceptual model is provided to describe the impact of these factors on residents’ ability to be adaptive learners, and actionable recommendations are provided to help educators’ efforts to foster adaptive learning skills and behaviors. These findings also provided...

Residency Program Responses to Early COVID-19 Surges Highlight Tension as to Whether Residents Are Learners or Essential Workers
Purpose
To quantify the extent to which internal medicine (IM) residents provided care for patients with COVID-19 and examine characteristics of residency programs with or without plans (at some point) to exclude residents from COVID-19 care during the first 6 months of the pandemic.
Method
The authors used data from a nationally representative, annually recurring survey of U.S. IM program directors (PDs) to quantify early (March–August 2020) resident participation in COVID-19 care. The survey was fielded from August to December 2020. PDs reported whether they had planned to exclude residents from COVID-19 car...

The Latino Resident Physician Shortage: A Challenge and Opportunity for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
Conclusions
The findings show a severe shortage of Latino resident physicians. While a similar shortage also exists in primary care specialties, the majority of Latinos in states with large Latino populations are consistently choosing to train in primary care. Investment and greater improvement in the representation of certain population groups in medicine and for combating the inequities existing in the current educational system is needed. The authors offer recommendations to increase the number of Latinos in residency programs and for increasing the number of Spanish-speaking physicians and Latino international medi...

Implementing a Social Determinants of Health Curriculum in Undergraduate Medical Education: A Qualitative Analysis of Faculty Experience
Conclusions
Findings highlight the challenges that faculty encounter when integrating social determinants of health and related curricula into undergraduate medical education. They also speak to the need for a broader conceptualization of relevant expertise and have implications for how medical schools select, train, and support medical educators in this work.

Barriers, Challenges, and Solutions: What Can We Learn About Leadership in Academic Medicine From a Qualitative Study of Emergency Medicine Women Chairs?
Conclusions
Women department chairs in EM were successful academic leaders despite confronting several challenges to their leadership. Considering the study findings through the lens of the concept of second-generation gender bias further illuminates the influence of gender on leadership in academic medicine. These findings suggest several possible strategies that can combat gender bias, increase gender parity among academic medicine’s leadership, and improve the leadership experience for women leaders.

Endowed Chairs and Professorships: A New Frontier in Gender Equity
Conclusions
Analysis of the gender distribution of endowed positions across 30 representative U.S. medical schools revealed a significant gender disparity. Interviews with deans at the top 10 schools revealed strategies that they have used to promote equity in this important area. Implementation of a systematic national reporting process could provide schools with comparative data to gauge their progress. (Source: Academic Medicine)

Fidelity to Best Practices in EPA Implementation: Outcomes Supporting Use of the Core Components Framework From the University of Virginia Entrustable Professional Activity Program
Problem
The rapid expansion of entrustable professional activity (EPA) assessment programs has led to calls to ensure fidelity in implementation and integrity in meeting the goals of competency-based medical education. Initiated in July 2017, in advance of the articulated core components of EPA implementation, this article describes the structure and outcomes of the University of Virginia (UVA) EPA Program and provides support for the identified essential components.
Approach
The UVA EPA Program includes workplace assessments by residents/fellows, attending faculty, and master assessors (MAs), experienced clinic...

A Blueprint for Increasing Ethnic and Racial Diversity in U.S. Residency Training Programs
Problem
People who identify as African Americans, Latinos, or from indigenous backgrounds, are dramatically underrepresented in the U.S. physician workforce. It is critical for academic health centers to recognize racial and ethnic diversity at the residency level and implement changes to enhance diversity among trainees.
Approach
The Office of Graduate Medical Education (GME) at the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) developed a multipronged approach to enhance diversity and inclusion (D&I) among residency trainees. The approach included the development of an underrepresented in medicine (UIM) prof...
