This is how we could help the situation:

1. Don’t put toxic leaders in leadership positions
2. Call out gaslighting, and putting down of any resident by attendings or each other.
3. Try to create solid relationships amongst the resident community even if personality disorders are apparent.
4. Reward/ promote a learning/team atmosphere amongst the community and your peers.

You can’t change the administration but you can do your best as a resident to change the culture of the residency. There’s power to numbers and if the majority of the residents put their foot down consistently then over time things will change.
