Abstract
Partnership with a Theater Company to Amplify Voices of Underrepresented-in-Medicine Students
Highlights
The field of medicine has a long history of discriminatory practices toward racial and ethnic minorities, women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.[1]
Because of the inherent hierarchy in medical education, medical students are vulnerable to discriminatory practices and may feel they have limited recourse to respond to discrimination.[2]
Failure to address discriminatory practices leads to isolation, stress, and disempowerment

The field of medicine has a long history of discriminatory practices toward racial and ethnic minorities, women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.[1] Because of the inherent hierarchy in medical education, medical students are vulnerable to discriminatory practices and may feel they have limited recourse to respond to discrimination.[2] Underrepresented-in-medicine (URiM) students experience “death by a thousand cuts,” often with the perception that they are alone to shoulder and overcome injurious behavior inflicted by peers, faculty, and administrators
