Abstract
Medical training is an experience often riddled with a great deal of stress to clear the performance hurdles of residency and fellowship. Although we are taught how to care for patients and family members, we seldom talk about racism and bigotry from patients to providers. Rarely, if ever, are any of us taught how to emotionally process or logistically manage mistreatment when it comes from the patient. It is imperative that we educate trainees on this matter, ensuring that they feel supported, empowered, and equipped to navigate these uncomfortable and sometimes hostile interactions with patients and families. This is vital to preserving learning and education, as well as warding off physician burnout. The objectives are to highlight the role and responsibility of the supervisor in the context of trainee mistreatment by a patient and to emphasize the need for supervisors to achieve competency in addressing discrimination.
