"Five percent of physicians and 7.3% of medical students who matriculated in the 2019–2020 school year were Black, despite the fact that Black people make up 13.4% of the U.S. population. In 2019, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education released a statement prioritizing the recruitment and training of members of racial and ethnic groups that are underrepresented in medicine. Although there are many concerns that broadly affect Black people in medicine, such as institutional racism and inequality of educational opportunities, the experiences of Black interviewees in particular remain underaddressed. Being interviewed while Black involves a collision of microaggressions and feelings and experiences related to stereotype threat, tokenism, imposter syndrome, and homophily (see table). Many of these experiences are rooted in unconscious bias, whereas some can be born from overt racism. In turn, Black interviewees collect impressions that make them doubt that they will be welcomed and valued in medicine."
