Experiences of LGBTQ plus Residents in US General Surgery Training Programs

Evan A. Heiderscheit et al.

Summary: This study surveyed 6381 surgical residents and found that LGBTQ+ general surgery residents reported higher rates of discrimination, harassment, and bullying compared to their non-LGBTQ+ peers, with attending surgeons being the most common source. Despite similar career satisfaction, LGBTQ+ residents were more likely to consider leaving their program and have thoughts of suicide. The study highlights the need for multifaceted interventions to create safer and more inclusive learning environments for LGBTQ+ surgery residents.
