Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Racial Diversity in Medicine
  • Trainee Outcomes

Background:

  • Growing racial diversity in medical training has increased underrepresented minorities (URM).
  • Educational and achievement gaps among URMs require identification to improve inclusion.
  • This study contrasts URM trainees with White and Asian trainees.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To pinpoint educational and achievement gaps among URMs.
  • To identify areas for improving URM inclusion and training.
  • To compare URM trainees with White and Asian trainees.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study using publicly accessible records.
  • Data assessed included trainee education, research, location, and race.
  • URMs (Black, Hispanic, Native American) compared to White and Asian trainees.

Main Results:

  • URMs comprised 5.8% of 1092 trainees; Whites and Asians comprised 94.2%.
  • URMs had more advanced degrees, including MBAs, and trained in independent programs.
  • URMs had fewer citations but comparable publications and Hirsch index.

Conclusions:

  • Analysis reveals remediable issues for improving racial representation in medicine.
  • Early pre-match mentorship is crucial for guiding URM match strategies.
  • Diversifying the field requires targeted interventions for URM trainees.
