Minority Excellence Pipeline Program in Ophthalmology - NIH NEI R13 – PA-16-294 The goal of the Rabb-Venable Excellence in Research Program (RV) is to increase the number of under-represented minority physicians in ophthalmology and academic medicine. The program is a pipeline process to expose medical students and resident/fellows to role models, skills needed in medical practice and teaching, research opportunities and to provide mentoring. While on NEI council, Mildred MG Olivier, MD challenged the group to find more under- represented minorities (URM) to submit grants. For her part, she applied for a grant which would have impact on increasing the number of under-represented minorities in ophthalmology. The grant funded the continuation of the RV Program which had been in existence since 2000 when Lenworth Johnson, MD (past NEI council member) launched a research program inviting medical students, residents/fellows to the Annual Meeting of the National Medical Association (NMA) to present their work. The NMA was founded in 1895 because the American Medical Association did not allow African American physicians membership to their organization. Now more than 30,000 NMA physicians participate, working to eliminate the disparities in healthcare. Those racial and ethnic disparities cost the US $1.24 trillion with $229 billion in direct cost for medical care associated with disparities.1 Thirty percent of the US population are URM, however only 9% are medical doctors (Figure 1). Even fewer URM physicians are specialists. The RV Program has proven outcomes in placing and supporting URM students in subspecialty training. Figure 1. Minority representation in health related fields.2 Over the next five year period, the RV Program expects to build on its longitudinal success by a) expanding the number of participants to 60 by 2021; b) enriching the understanding of both students and mentors of the health impacts of disparities; c) enlisting additional physician mentors to work with the medical students and residents/fellows between meetings; and d) developing sources for supplemental funding to assure program sustainability. 1 John A.

眼科少数民族卓越管道计划- NIH NEI R13 - PA-16-294 Rabb-Venable卓越研究计划（RV）的目标是增加 眼科和学术医学领域少数族裔医生的代表性不足。的 该计划是一个管道过程，使医学生和住院医生/研究员接触榜样， 提供医疗实践和教学所需的技能、研究机会并提供指导。 在NEI理事会上，医学博士米尔德里德·MG·奥利弗向该组织提出挑战，要求在 代表少数民族（URM）提交赠款。就她而言，她申请了一笔赠款， 将对增加眼科中代表性不足的少数群体的数量产生影响。 该赠款资助了自2000年以来一直存在的RV计划的继续 当医学博士Lenworth约翰逊（前NEI理事会成员）发起一项研究计划时， 医学生、住院医生/研究员参加全国医学协会年会 (NMA)来展示他们的作品NMA成立于1895年，因为美国医学 协会不允许非裔美国医生加入他们的组织。 现在有超过30，000名NMA医生参与，致力于消除 健康护理这些种族和民族差异使美国损失了1.24万亿美元，其中2290亿美元用于 与疾病相关的医疗护理的直接成本。1美国人口的30%是 然而，只有9%的人是医生（图1）。更少的URM医生 专家。RV计划在安置和支持URM学生方面取得了成功， 亚专业培训。 图1.少数群体在保健相关领域的代表性。 在接下来的五年里，RV计划预计将通过以下方式在其纵向成功的基础上再接再厉： 到2021年将参与者人数扩大到60人; B）丰富对两者的理解 学生和导师的健康影响的差距; c）招募更多的医生 导师与医学生和居民/研究员在会议之间工作;以及d） 开发补充资金来源，以确保方案的可持续性。 1约翰·A.
