It appears the problems inherent in the underrepresentation of minorities in the health professions, especially medicine, are likely to continue, at least in the near future. This being the case, it becomes important to maximize the effectiveness of those minorities already in the system.This paper describes a study conducted to verify certain assumptions which underlie programs aimed at increasing minority student enrollment in medical schools. It is assumed minority students are aware of the health problems unique to minority populations, that they plan to do something to address these problems, and that they will have some effect on the problem and the health of minority populations.
少数群体在医疗行业，尤其是医学领域代表性不足的固有问题似乎很可能会持续存在，至少在不久的将来会如此。既然如此，使系统中已有少数群体的效能最大化就变得很重要。本文描述了一项研究，该研究旨在验证某些作为旨在增加医学院校少数族裔学生入学人数项目基础的假设。假设少数族裔学生知晓少数群体特有的健康问题，他们打算采取措施解决这些问题，并且他们将对这些问题以及少数群体的健康产生一定影响。
