Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The minority tax disproportionately burdens underrepresented medical students with extra diversity work, hindering academic progress. Eliminating this tax is crucial for an equitable medical education and faculty pipeline.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Medicine

Background:

  • Medical schools require diverse student bodies and patient education.
  • The minority tax burdens underrepresented faculty with additional DEI responsibilities.
  • This review examines medical students' experiences with the minority tax.

Approach:

  • A narrative review was conducted.
  • Searched PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, and medical society resources.
  • Included publications discussing underrepresented medical students' minority tax experiences.

Key Points:

  • Underrepresented medical students reported increased hours on diversity efforts.
  • Students sacrificed academic excellence to fulfill diversity duties.
  • The minority tax creates an inequitable barrier to advancement.

Conclusions:

  • The minority tax is an unjust barrier in academic medicine.
  • It contributes to attrition in the underrepresented faculty pipeline.
  • Medical educators can implement recommendations to mitigate this tax.
