URiM trainees are more likely to face these unique challenges to thriving in their surgical training programs including discrimination and microaggressions when compared to their peers, leading to higher rates of burnout and suicidal thoughts.4,5 URiM trainees also face these challenges to a degree unrecognized by many of surgeons responsible for their training. [...]during the Academic Surgical Congress in 2021, a panel discussion by experts presented the current state of these issues and discussed ways in which academic surgery can work to combat structural racism and to actively facilitate URiM trainees fulfilling their potential. The American Medical Association (AMA) founded in 1868 did not admit Black or African American physicians for over a century. Because Black physicians had few professional organizations to which they could belong, the National Medical Association was founded in 1895 as an alternative organization welcoming of Black and other minority physicians. [...]the medical and public health communities need to turn a lens on themselves, both as individuals and as institutions … First of these short-term goals is appointing leaders and teams to drive these efforts.
