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.
医学领域相对缺乏多样性是消除医疗保健差距努力中的一个限制因素。许多医学院难以录取能反映该国多样性的学生群体。积极招募是使医学院申请者群体多样化的一种策略，但仅靠这一点是不够的。我们医学院的招生委员会做出了一些系统性变革，促成了我们目前的构成多样性，这可能对其他学校有借鉴意义。这份来自美国一所医学院实地经验的报告描述了招生委员会可以采取的几项举措，以提高被医学院录取的医学领域代表性不足群体学生的数量。
