Improving diversity in the healthcare workforce holds promise in improving the health outcomes of our diverse patient population. Attracting, recruiting, and retaining physicians from races and ethnicities that are historically underrepresented in medicine are vital in this effort. Increasing diversity at the graduate medical education level has the potential to positively reshape our physician personnel. In this editorial, we discuss the current state of diversity-oriented recruitment strategies for residency programs and present opportunities for future efforts.
提高医疗保健劳动力的多样性有望改善我们多样化患者群体的健康状况。吸引、招募和留住来自医学领域历史上代表性不足的种族和族裔的医生对于这项工作至关重要。在研究生医学教育层面增加多样性有可能积极重塑我们的医生队伍。在这篇社论中,我们讨论了住院医师项目以多样性为导向的招聘策略的现状,并提出了未来努力的机会。
