“…Despite recent efforts to foster racial/ethnic diversity within the physician workforce, a majority of non-Hispanic black physicians reported experiencing discrimination in their cur- These findings are similar to those from national surveys conducted more than a decade ago, 1,2 suggesting that significant numbers of non-majority physicians continue to experience discrimination at work. However, the experience of perceived discrimination does not appear to be static over the career course of individual physicians.…”

“…1 Another national study, conducted in 1993-1994 among female physicians, found that approximately 60% of non-majority respondents reported racial/ethnic discrimination at work. 2 Further, physicians from non-majority backgrounds are generally less satisfied with their careers 1,3 and less likely to be promoted than their majority colleagues with similar academic productivity. 4,5 Since the 1990s, however, achieving racial/ethnic diversity within the physician workforce has been a national priority.…”

BACKGROUND: Promoting racial/ethnic diversity within the physician workforce is a national priority. However, the extent of racial/ethnic discrimination reported by physicians from diverse backgrounds in today's health-care workplace is unknown. OBJECTIVE:To determine the prevalence of physician experiences of perceived racial/ethnic discrimination at work and to explore physician views about race and discussions regarding race/ethnicity in the workplace. PARTICIPANTS: Practicing physicians (total n=529) from diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds in the United States. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:We examined physicians' experience of racial/ethnic discrimination over their career course, their experience of discrimination in their current work setting, and their views about race/ethnicity and discrimination at work. The proportion of physicians who reported that they had experienced racial/ethnic discrimination "sometimes, often, or very often" during their medical career was substantial among non-majority physicians (71% of black physicians, 45% of Asian physicians, 63% of "other" race physicians, and 27% of Hispanic/Latino(a) physicians, compared with 7% of white physicians, all p< 0.05). Similarly, the proportion of non-majority physicians who reported that they experienced discrimination in their current work setting was substantial (59% of black, 39% of Asian, 35% of "other" race, 24% of Hispanic/Latino(a) physicians, and 21% of white physicians). Physician views about the role of race/ethnicity at work varied significantly by respondent race/ ethnicity.CONCLUSIONS: Many non-majority physicians report experiencing racial/ethnic discrimination in the workplace. Opportunities exist for health-care organizations and diverse physicians to work together to improve the climate of perceived discrimination where they work.KEY WORDS: discrimination; race and ethnicity; workforce; health-care workers.

“…Prior qualitative studies of racial/ethnic minority high school students, medical students, residents, and practicing physicians described their perceptions and experiences of discrimination within healthcare organizations 4,15,24,25 . Surveys of practicing physicians found that racial/ethnic discriminatory experiences extend postmedical training for significant numbers of racial/ethnic minority physicians 1,2,6,7 . We extended the previous work with practicing physicians of African descent 4 by characterizing the challenges and potential consequences that may arise as healthcare organizations respond to recommendations for open dialogue about race.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Physicians of African descent report discrimination at work, 1,2,4,7,8 and experiencing perceived racerelated discrimination in the workplace can negatively affect job satisfaction and career trajectories. 4 Furthermore, research with physicians of African descent has suggested that negative racerelated experiences are often ignored or normalized, 4,8 limiting potentially beneficial discussions about improving the quality of work life for physicians in the healthcare workplace.…”

“…Occupational stereotyping was demonstrated by Leong and Hayes (1990), who showed respondents thought Asian Americans were more likely to be successful as computer scientists, engineers, and mathematicians and less likely to be successful as insurance sales people. Occupational discrimination has also been documented against Asian American scientists and engineers within U.S. universities (National Science Foundation, 2004) and against women physicians (Corbie-Smith, Frank, Nickens, & Elon, 1999).…”

An extensive literature search across the spectrum of vocational psychology was conducted using the time frame of 1991-2008 and resulted in 47 quantitative reviews (i.e., meta-analyses). First, theories of vocational psychology are presented including John Holland's ( 1997) and Rene Dawis and Loyd Lofquist's ( 1984;Dawis, 2005) theory of work adjustment person-environment fit (P-E fit) models; Lent, Brown, and Hackett ( 1994) social cognitive career theory; the social learning theory of John Krumboltz ( 1990); Donald Super's career construction theory (Super, 1992); and L. S. Gottfredson's ( 1999) circumscription theory. Next, vocational outcomes of young people (the development of interests, educational and occupational aspirations, educational achievement, and career choice) and wage-earning adults (job search, job entry, job performance, job satisfaction, career success, and mental health outcomes) are reviewed. The last two major sections concern diverse groups (women and racially and ethnically diverse groups) and individual differences (cognitive ability, personality, and interests) as predictors of vocational outcomes.
