Understanding this intersection may improve support mechanisms, promote diversity and enhance workforce retention. This critical review aimed to evaluate all published empirical evidence regarding the impact of disability and ethnicity on the training of UK medical students and qualified doctors, with a specific focus on their intersection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta\u2010Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. A range of medical\u2010, nursing\u2010 and psychology\u2010based bibliographic databases were used with no date restrictions. Quality appraisal was undertaken for all studies using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). A textual narrative method was used to synthesise the data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      After an initial 2662 identified articles from the electronic and manual searches, only 25 articles presented data on both disability and ethnicity in undergraduate, graduate\u2010entry and postgraduate medical education contexts. Only a small number specifically addressed intersectionality, with the majority evaluating disability and ethnicity independently.

The results highlight important areas that medical educators need to address, such as support mechanisms and different cultural understandings. Most available data are quantitative and lack critical detail, for example, types of disability and ethnic groups, to fully unpack reasons for educational and training disparities. Further work is therefore recommended, especially with a qualitative focus.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/medu.70293","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,7]],"date-time":"2026-08-07T14:20:37Z","timestamp":1786112437000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Understanding how disability and ethnicity impact UK undergraduate and postgraduate medical training: A critical review"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-0834-8710","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hannah Z.","family":"Wakefield","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Professions Education Unit, Hull York Medical School University of York  York UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4084-7102","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amaya","family":"Ellawala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Professions Education Unit, Hull York Medical School University of York  York UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3549-3234","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amelia","family":"Kehoe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Professions Education Unit, Hull York Medical School University of York  York UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8744-930X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul E.
