Abstract
Admissions officers assemble classes of medical students with different backgrounds and experiences who can contribute to their institutions’ service, leadership, and research goals. While schools’ local interests vary, they share a common goal: meeting the health needs of an increasingly diverse population. Despite the well-known benefits of diversity, the physician workforce does not yet reflect the nation’s diversity by socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, or other background characteristics.
