Early Dismissal From Residency: SNMA Panel
Saturday, 6 June, 2026
Residency Dismissal, Remediation, and Discrimination: Stories, Data, and Practical ProtectionsA moderated panel discusses residency dismissal, remediation, and discrimination, outlining the session format and sharing panelist backgrounds and experiences. Dr. Steven Bradley recounts being blindsided in internship after discovering emails tracking his mistakes and facing comments about attending Howard, then recovering with mentorship support. Dr. Joshua Obamido describes feeling targeted by a program director, schedule changes around Step 3, resignation followed by dismissal, licensing obstruction, and eventually matching into emergency medicine with legal pressure to release documents. Dr. Tyler Smith emphasizes mentorship, support without “expiration dates,” documentation, and preparing for meetings, while attorney Greg Care explains legal definitions of discrimination, hostile work environment, retaliation, protected classes, and how unionization can strengthen disciplinary processes. The panel reviews limited dismissal data showing racial disparities across specialties and offers strategies: read handbooks/contracts, seek feedback, email recaps, keep receipts, know meeting agendas/attendees, and reach out for help early.
