医学相对缺乏多样性是消除保健不平等努力的一个限制因素。许多医学院努力招收反映这个国家多样性的学生。积极招聘是使医学院申请者多样化的一种策略，但孤立地招聘是不够的。我们的医学院招生委员会做了一些程序上的改变，这有助于我们目前的组成多样性，这可能对其他人有指导意义。这份来自美国一所医学院的实地经验报告描述了几项招生委员会可以采取的举措，以增加医学领域代表性不足的群体的学生进入医学院的机会。
The relative lack of diversity in medicine is a rate limiting factor in efforts to eliminate health care disparities. Many medical schools struggle to matriculate student bodies that reflect the diversity of this country. Actively recruiting is one tactic to diversify a medical school's applicant pool, but in isolation is not enough. Our medical school admissions committee made a number of programmatic changes that contributed to our current compositional diversity that may be instructive to others. This report from the field on the experience of one U.S. medical school describes several admissions committee initiatives that can be undertaken to increase the yield of students from groups underrepresented in medicine who matriculate to medical school.
