La separación de los pacientes según su estado de seguro en los entornos de atención ambulatoria es una práctica consolidada en la medicina académica. Esta segregación de los pacientes basada en el pagador entre las consultas externas de los residentes y las de los profesores puede dar lugar a una calidad de atención inequitativa. Basándonos en las respuestas a una pregunta de texto de respuesta libre dirigida a residentes y directores de programas en el examen interno de obstetricia y ginecología de los EE. UU. de 2023, presentamos un comentario sobre esta inequidad estructural dentro de la obstetricia y la ginecología. El propósito de este comentario es analizar las diferencias en la población de pacientes atendida, las brechas de recursos en las clínicas de residentes, la calidad de la atención y la lesión moral, la continuidad limitada de la atención, y la formación y supervisión. Es necesario realizar más trabajos para orientar los esfuerzos de integración sistémica y explorar los efectos de la integración de los programas en los resultados de salud de los pacientes. No obstante, instamos a los centros médicos académicos a considerar cambios organizativos hacia una atención integrada por pagadores.
