The issues of genesis of the problem, rationale for redress, assessment of current status, and mechanisms for reaching parity are examined. The current status of underrepresented minority applicants to medical school is made and mechanisms for catalyzing the effort to reach parity with other ethnic groups in the United States are presented.
