Abstract
Microaggressions are ubiquitous in residency programs. Microaggressions are “brief, everyday exchanges that send denigrating messages to certain individuals because of their group membership.” Though race/ethnicity is often considered the target of microaggressions, they can also be aimed at a person’s gender, sexual orientation, religion, or other marginalized status. All microaggressions are particularly harmful in medicine and can interfere with patient care and the professional interactions and development of resident physicians.
