Feelings of loyalty to a social group are naturally strengthened by negative feelings toward those outside our tribes. In medicine, such “us versus them” attitudes and behaviors can compromise the quality of care we provide. In this session, we will review our intrinsic tendency toward medical tribalism, the impact it has on our colleagues and our patients, and strategies to mitigate this phenomenon.
