Note: The high-level race/ethnicity categories at the AAMC are American Indian or Alaska Native; Asian; Black or African American; Hispanic or Latino; Middle Eastern or North African; Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander; White; and Some other race or ethnicity. An individual may fall into one or more of these race/ethnicity categories. For the purposes of this particular display, Underrepresented in Medicine (“URiM”) includes all deans who are not White only and/or Asian only, including deans with “other” race/ethnicity and including deans with multiple races/ethnicities where at least one race/ethnicity is not White or Asian (e.g., a dean who is Black and White is considered URiM); “Non-URiM” includes all deans who are White only, Asian only, or White and Asian only.

Note: Deans with missing race/ethnicity data are excluded. Fewer than 3% of deans were excluded for missing data in each snapshot year.
