This ethno-racial trauma (ERT) has been characterised by discrimination, obstacles to career advancement and leadership roles, and a lack of mentorship and representation. In this review, we sought to bring together the existing literature on ERT and its influence on the well-being of attending physicians in the USA, while also examining how different aspects of well-being are shaped using the PERMA (Positive emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning and Accomplishment) conceptual framework for flourishing and well-being.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This scoping review was conducted according to the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis: Scoping Reviews Chapter. A literature search of six bibliographic databases and one grey literature source was conducted in 2023 and updated in 2024, without time restriction applied. All English language studies conducted in the USA that assessed the impact of ERT on physicians and/or physician trainees were included.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of the 4656 manuscripts identified for initial screening, 534 studies underwent full-text review, and 94 studies met inclusion criteria, with 29 studies focused on physicians alone and 18 focused on both physicians and physician trainees. Physicians most frequently described ERT in the form of devaluation of work, discrimination, explicit and implicit bias, inadequate support, professional isolation and microaggressions. Reported sources of ERT included patients, peers, other practitioners and institutional leadership. Also, ERT was consistently associated with heightened burnout, stress and isolation and was linked to diminished career advancement, reduced job satisfaction and impaired emotional well-being. Across studies in this review, all domains of the PERMA framework were adversely impacted.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Current evidence demonstrates that ERT profoundly undermines physicians' well-being.

A total of 730 students completed the baseline survey and were included in the analysis, yielding a valid response rate of 90.1%. Participants completed the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) for depression and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale for anxiety.

Yet, little is known about whether such disclaimers influence medical students' diagnostic behaviour. Drawing on the Judge-Advisor System (JAS) theory, we investigated whether the warning alters advice-taking behaviour by modifying perceived advisor credibility.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>In this randomized controlled trial, 186 fourth-year medical students evaluated three clinical vignettes with two diagnostic options. Each case was specifically designed to include the presentations of both diagnoses to make the case ambiguous. Students were randomly assigned to receive feedback either with (warning arm) or without (no-warning arm) a prominently displayed warning ('ChatGPT can make mistakes. Check important info'.). After submitting their initial response, students received ChatGPT-attributed disagreeing diagnostic feedback explaining why the alternate diagnosis was correct. Then they were given the opportunity to revise their original choice. Advice-taking was measured by whether students changed their diagnosis after viewing AI input. We analysed change rates, weight-of-advice (WoA) and used mixed-effects models to assess intervention effects.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The warning did not influence diagnostic changes (15.3% no-warning vs. 15.9% warning; OR = 1.09, 95% CI: 0.46-2.59, p = 0.84). The WoA was 0.15 (SD = 0.36), significantly lower than the 0.30 average in prior JAS meta-analysis (p < 0.001).

The disclaimer did not alter students' use of AI advice, suggesting that their perceived credibility of ChatGPT was already near a behavioural floor. This finding supports the existence of a credibility threshold, beyond which additional cautionary cues have limited effect.
