Otolaryngology continues to have one of the lowest percentages of black physicians of any surgical specialty, a number than has not improved in recent years. The history of exclusion of black students in medical education as well as ongoing bias affecting examination scores, clerkship grades and evaluations, and honors society acceptance of black students may factor into the disproportionately low number of black otolaryngology residents. In order to increase the number of black physicians in otolaryngology, intentional steps must be taken to actively recruit, mentor, and train black physicians specializing in otolaryngology.
耳鼻喉科学仍然是任何外科专业中黑人医生比例最低的学科之一，而且近年来这一数字并没有改善。黑人学生在医学教育中被排斥的历史，以及持续存在的偏见，影响了他们的考试成绩、实习成绩和评估，以及黑人学生能否被荣誉学会接纳，这些都可能是耳鼻喉科住院医师中黑人比例过低的因素。为了增加耳鼻喉科的黑人医生数量，必须采取有意的步骤来积极招募、指导和培训专门从事耳鼻喉科的黑人医生。
