BACKGROUND
Discrimination faced by Asian American trainees in medical school include those reported by female trainees. This study aims to characterize the microaggressions faced by Asian American woman medical students.
METHODS
We use a mixed methods approach to characterize the experiences of Asian Americans in United States (US) medical schools through an anonymous online survey and participation in focus groups.
RESULTS
Among our 305 participants, 65.9 % were women. More women experienced microaggressions than men (p < 0.001). Compared to men, women reported significantly higher rates of supervisors having higher expectations of them, implying they were submissive, and describing them as too quiet. Women felt that their experiences with microaggressions were entangled with being Asian and a woman, but could not distinguish which identity was being targeted.
CONCLUSION
The intersectionality of being Asian American and a woman in medical training has not been explored. We found that this duality intensified experiences of microaggressions.
背景
医学院中亚裔美国学员所面临的歧视包括女学员所报告的那些歧视。本研究旨在描述亚裔美国女医学生所面临的微侵犯行为。
方法
我们采用混合方法，通过匿名在线调查和参与焦点小组来描述美国医学院中亚裔美国人的经历。
结果
在我们的305名参与者中，65.9%为女性。经历微侵犯行为的女性比男性更多（p<0.001）。与男性相比，女性报告称，导师对她们有更高期望的比例显著更高，这意味着她们顺从，并形容她们过于安静。女性认为她们的微侵犯经历与身为亚洲人和女性交织在一起，但无法区分针对的是哪种身份。
结论
在医学培训中，亚裔美国女性的交叉性尚未得到探讨。我们发现这种双重身份加剧了微侵犯行为的经历。
