dc.description.abstractBurnout impacts up to 75% of medical residents in the United States. Although nearly half of active medical residents in the U.S. identify as individuals with intersecting underrepresented identities including racial, ethnic minority and sexual orientation, very little is known about their unique needs and factors that help retain them throughout medical residency. This article aims to begin filling the gap in the literature regarding how medical residents with intersecting underrepresented identities experience burnout during their residency education in the US and begin exploring protective factors that alleviate burnout rates. The data for this study came from 27 participants who were selected for qualitative interviews and the following themes emerged as having influence on how medical residents with intersecting underrepresented identities experienced burnout: Healthcare culture, additive stress, the role of exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy and the influence of discrimination. Additionally, nine subthemes emerged from these themes. Medical residency programs and hospital systems should consider the ways in which their discrimination policies, wellness programs, and diverse leadership structure or the lack thereof impacts burnout rates in medical residents with multiple intersecting underrepresented identities.
