We engaged in a content analysis of 10 years of scholarship about students of color, students with disabilities, and queer and/or trans students and sexual violence (SV). Our findings indicate that most of the scholarship centering students with minoritized identities focuses on prevalence and risk factors associated with SV and lacks theoretical frameworks relevant to the populations being studied. Employing epistemic injustice as a framework, we argue the implications of excluding students with minoritized identities in the scholarship about SV results in ineffective research and practice, which ultimately results in continued high rates of SV for all students.

Background: Newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) was universally implemented in the United States in 2010 to improve disease outcomes. Despite universal screening, disparities in outcomes currently exist between people with CF (PwCF) with Black/African, Asian, Indigenous, and Latino/Hispanic ancestry in comparison to PwCF of European ancestry. This is in part because CFTR panels used for newborn screening are often based on variants common in European ancestries leading to higher rates of false negatives for PwCF from minoritized racial and ethnic groups.

Problem: Microaggressions negatively affect the experiences of medical students, especially those from minoritized groups, indicating the need for heightened awareness and open dialogue. The increasing recognition of the potential harm caused by such behaviors has led to a call for educational strategies that enable medical students to identify and address microaggressions effectively. This report details an innovative approach designed to navigate the complexities of microaggressions within medical education settings.

Objective: The clinical application of race-adjusted algorithms may perpetuate health inequities. We assessed the impact of the vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) calculator, which was revised in 2021 to address concerns about equity. The original algorithm factored race and ethnicity and gave lower VBAC probabilities to Black and Hispanic patients.

Many medical schools are transitioning to pass/fail grading from tiered grading systems which have been associated with increased competition, grade inflation, decreased wellness, and grading disparities along racial/ethnic lines. This retrospective cohort study followed two cohorts of students from one medical school for four years. One cohort was the last class to enter the school under a 5-point grading system for preclinical courses and the other was the first cohort to enter school under a pass/fail grading system for preclinical courses.
