A cross-sectional study of gender-based discrimination and bias during residency training Many studies have shown that both residents and attending physicians are unhappy in their work. One possible explanation for resident physician unhappiness is a suboptimal learning and working environment. We are attempting to better understand the learning and working environment for resident physicians within the Partners system. As a resident physician, you are invited to complete the following survey on your workplace experiences including gender-based discrimination or bias. Your participation is voluntary, and we are committed to the confidentiality of your responses. Surveys will be administered via the secure Partners REDCap platform and all participants will be assigned a randomly generated study ID that will be used for all data extraction and analysis. The only individual who will have access to identifiable data (e.g., email address) is a PhD educator who has no supervisory role over resident physicians. Other members of the research team will only see de-identified or coded results. No physician, including your program director or department chair, will have access to identifiable data. This survey will take you approximately 5-15 minutes to complete. Completing the survey acknowledges your consent to participate in this study.
