AAMC Focus Session
Herbert W. Nickens Lecture
Diversity in the Health Professions: Challenges and Opportunities

The U.S. Health professions have been challenged over the centuries to insure that the realities of racial and ethnic diversity in their ranks match the ideals espoused by their educational institutions and their associations. Many studies have shown that access to health care is improved with greater diversity in the professions.

The dynamic growth of the U.S. population and its increasing diversity presents an opportunity to close the gap between our ideals and the reality in the health professions, while improving the health status of the poor and the medically underserved.
