Creating a Physician Workforce that Reflects the Patients and Families We Serve
Workforce disparities persist within health care institutions and medical training. While individuals who identify as Black/African American, Latinx/Hispanic, Native American, and Pacific Islander comprise roughly 30% of the U.S. population, they are less than 15% of physicians, making them underrepresented in medicine – or URM.

The plan and its results are now published in Pediatrics.
