In medical education, acts of professional resistance have been studied across all racial and ethnic groups as an antidote to the social harm and injustice festering in medical education. However, not everyone experiences medical education in the same way; some groups experience it quite differently because of their social positions. In particular, Black physicians face anti-Black racism in medical education, which has the potential to shape their resistance in a particular way. This study was designed to understand what professional resistance looks like in Black residents/fellows in North America and how being Black shaped their experiences of resistance.
