Simulation Training to Interrupt Microaggressions.

Microaggressions in health care occur frequently and negatively impact the well-being of trainees. High-realism simulation can effectively train health care providers to communicate in emotionally difficult situations. In 2023, we developed and piloted 4 simulation scenarios for pediatric residents centered on addressing microaggressions in the clinical environment that built on an existing didactic curriculum.

Patient and Clinician Characteristics That Predict Breast Cancer Screening Behavior in 40-49-Year-Old Women.
