非洲裔美国人、拉美裔美国人和美国印第安人在卫生职业中的代表性严重不足。以公民权利、公共健康和教育利益以及商业利益为理由，可以提出一个强有力的理由来支持多样性。改善卫生职业的多样性需要多管齐下的战略，解决教育渠道、招生政策和卫生职业学校的机构文化，以及更广泛的政策环境。
African Americans, Latinos, and American Indians are severely underrepresented in the health professions. A strong case for diversity may be made on the grounds of civil rights, public health and educational benefit, and business gains. Improving the diversity of the health professions requires multiprong strategies addressing the educational pipeline, admissions policies and the institutional culture at health professions schools, and the broader policy environment.
