Disparities in health outcomes in underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups are evident in allergic/immunologic diseases, and has been most completely described in asthma. The last two decades have not led to any substantive improvement in these disparities, with underrepresented minorities (URMs) receiving worse care in several quality measures. Increasing physician workforce diversity is one strategy to improve access to care and address the health disparity problem because URM physicians more often choose to both work in clinical settings and pursue research that benefits underserved communities. The pipeline for practicing allergists and immunologists should be facilitated to ensure there are enough providers for patients in the growing URM populations. Having clear data measures of the active workforce and trainees in our specialty is required. Outreach to historically minority institutions to raise awareness of the field of allergy/immunology, forging partnerships with student medical associations and increasing national incentives to fund research or loan forgiveness for those who undertake careers in AI from URM backgrounds are also critical. Supporting the retention and advancement of URM medical school faculty will increase the visibility of the specialty to potential trainees. Intentional strategies will be important to ensure our specialty can meet the demand of a diverse patient population.
