The Underrepresented in Medicine Journey to Academic Medicine Podcast
Episode 6: Counteracting the Minority Tax for URM Faculty
In this episode of the URM JAM, our hosts address the minority and gratitude taxes for URM faculty, which can be defined as the disparity in responsibilities that affect minority faculty in the name of diversity and the obligation felt to future generations of students. They discuss the impact of these taxes on career choices, professional pursuits, and promotion for URM faculty. Our hosts share advice based on life experience and suggest ways for individuals and institutions to counteract the minority tax.
