目前美国医疗队伍的多样性状况并不反映黑人男性人口的代表性人数。研究数据继续显示，黑人男性在歧视、监禁、健康差距和死亡率方面的趋势依然存在。黑人男性医学院申请和入学人数没有增加，与上述持续趋势形成对比，这表明美国实际上存在危机。我们在此呼吁武装起来，以解决非洲裔美国人在医学方面的需求。黑人男性在医学院的缺席代表了美国的危机，威胁到有效解决健康差距和卓越的临床护理的努力。这种令人不安的趋势需要对医学院的数据进行更多的实证研究，特别是在以下领域：资格障碍，种族/民族分类以及多样性对美国医疗保健质量的影响。
The current state of diversity within the United States medical workforce does not reflect representative numbers of the Black male population. Research data continues to reveal continuing trends in the areas of discrimination, incarceration, health disparities and mortality with respect to Black males. The lack of increase in Black male medical school applications and matriculation contrasted by the continuing trends mentioned above illustrates that there is in fact an American crisis. We present here a call to arms, to address the need of African American men in medicine. The absence of Black males in medical school represents an American crisis that threatens efforts to effectively address health disparities and excellence in clinical care. This disturbing trend is in need of more empirical examination of medical school data specifically in the areas of: qualification barriers, race/ethnic classification and the impact of diversity on quality of healthcare in the U.S.
