    Olson EM, Sanborn DM, Dyster TG, Kelm DJ, Murray SG, Santhosh L, DesJardin JT. Gender Disparities in Critical Care Procedure Training of Internal Medicine Residents. ATS Sch. 2023 Feb 13;4(2):164-176. doi: 10.34197/ats-scholar.2022-0025OC. PMID: 37538076; PMCID: PMC10394715.

    About our Guests:

    Dr. Emily Olson is a pulmonary and critical care medicine fellow at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. She attended medical school at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and completed her internal medicine residency at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

    Dr. Lekshmi Santhosh is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary/Critical Care Medicine and the Division of Hospital Medicine at UCSF.

Dr. Santhosh serves as the Curriculum APD for the Internal Medicine Residency and is an Associate Program Director of the Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship.

    Learning Objectives:

    By the end of this podcast, listeners should be able to:

    1. Define ‘mixed methods’ in a research context.
    2. Explain why a researcher might choose focus groups instead of individual interviews for qualitative assessment.
    3. Discuss factors contributing to implicit bias in procedural opportunities for trainees.
    4. Explain how implicit bias in educational opportunities might lead to a ‘leaky pipeline’ for competitive subspecialties.
    5. Identify ways to truncate their implicit bias when offering procedures to trainees.
