Do Women and Minority Orthopaedic Residents Report Experiencing Worse Well-being and More Mistreatment Than Their Peers?

Understanding how well-being and mistreatment affect underrepresented residents helps in developing strategies to better support women and URiO residents during training. We recommend that orthopaedic governing bodies consider gathering national data on resident well-being and mistreatment to identify specific issues and track data over time. Additionally, departments should examine their internal practices and organizational culture to address specific gaps in inclusivity, well-being, and mechanisms for resident support.
