Socioeconomic, racial, and ethic diversity influence many facets of health care, including access to health services, the morbidity and mortality of disease, and the process of training health care professionals. California has an increasingly diverse population, and it is essential that the University of California medical schools carefully address the role of diversity in medical education and in education for the many other professionals who have a key role in the provision of care and services to Californians. In this paper, we provide evidence in support of the belief that the University of California system must train a physician workforce that reflects the racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic characteristics of California's population in order to provide equitable health care to all segments of the state's people.
社会经济、种族和民族多样性影响医疗保健的许多方面，包括获得医疗服务的机会、疾病的发病率和死亡率，以及医疗保健专业人员的培训过程。加利福尼亚州的人口日益多样化，因此加利福尼亚大学医学院必须认真对待多样性在医学教育以及对众多其他在为加利福尼亚人提供护理和服务方面发挥关键作用的专业人员的教育中的作用。在本文中，我们提供证据支持以下观点：加利福尼亚大学系统必须培养一支反映该州人口种族、民族和社会经济特征的医生队伍，以便为该州各阶层人民提供公平的医疗保健服务。
