Observational Study
Sex Disparities in COVID-19 Mortality Vary Across US Racial Groups.
Inequities in COVID-19 outcomes in the USA have been clearly documented for sex and race: men are dying at higher rates than women, and Black individuals are dying at higher rates than white individuals. Unexplored, however, is how sex and race interact in COVID-19 outcomes. ⋯ While overall, men have higher COVID-19 mortality rates than women, our findings show that this sex disparity does not hold across racial groups. This demonstrates the limitations of unidimensional reporting and analyses and highlights the ways that race and gender intersect to shape COVID-19 outcomes.

New virtual resources ("novel resources") have been incorporated into medical education. No recent large studies about their use and perception among internal medicine (IM) residents exist. ⋯ Our findings can inform residency programs as they transition to virtual curricula in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
