Few research studies examine medical students and residents with intersectional identities. In the emerging literature, data on Black women's experiences may be misrepresented and misinterpreted as studies aggregate data for women, students of color, and Black/African American men. As such, these studies do not account for the nuanced experiences of gendered racism that Black women students and residents may encounter during their medical education.
Using Crenshaw's intersectionality as an analytical tool, we conducted a narrative review to highlight how Black women medical students and residents are rendered invisible in the current literature on medical education.
The results generated 13 citations specifically discussing Black women medical students and residents, with only six studies being empirical research.
We conclude that 13 articles is inadequate for understanding the experiences of these populations. Without centering Black women or using an intersectional lens, researchers could invalidate the lived experiences of this population and create barriers to the political resources Black women learners need to be successful. Moreover, the lack of intention behind addressing the needs of Black women can be viewed as complicity in the oppressive structures that serve to subjugate them.
很少有研究关注具有交叉身份的医学生和住院医师。在新兴文献中，关于黑人女性经历的数据可能会被错误地表示和误解，因为研究将数据汇总为女性、有色人种学生和非裔美国男性的数据。因此，这些研究没有考虑到在医学教育期间，黑人女性学生和住院医师可能遇到的性别种族主义的细微差别。
我们使用克伦肖的交叉性作为分析工具，进行了一项叙述性综述，以强调黑人女性医学生和住院医师在医学教育的现有文献中是如何被忽视的。
结果产生了 13 篇专门讨论黑人女性医学生和住院医师的引文，其中只有 6 项是实证研究。
我们的结论是，仅有 13 篇文章不足以了解这些人群的经历。如果不以黑人女性为中心或不使用交叉视角，研究人员可能会使这些人群的生活经历失去效力，并为黑人女性学习者取得成功所需的政治资源设置障碍。此外，在解决黑人女性的需求方面缺乏意图，可以被视为对压迫性结构的共谋，这些结构旨在使她们处于从属地位。
