Despite notions of colour-blindness and denials of widespread systemic racism, anti-Black racism remains inherent in the political, economic, educational and healthcare systems in Europe.

Intrinsic inequity in assessment refers to sources of harmful discrimination inherent in the design of assessment tools and systems.

Methods: We utilized constructivist grounded theory to explore the perspectives of eighteen ECS on the influence of stakes of assessments within residency on their SRL during training and in current practice.
