Resumen

La revisión holística en las elecciones de la Alpha Omega Alpha (AΩA) de la escuela de medicina aumentó la representación de estudiantes de minorías raciales/étnicas subrepresentadas, de primera generación y de bajos ingresos socioeconómicos. Las plataformas estandarizadas facilitan procesos equitativos de selección de AΩA.

Área de la Ciencia:

Educación Médica
Equidad en Salud
Selección de Estudiantes

Sus antecedentes:

Alpha Omega Alpha (AΩA) enfrentó críticas por criterios académicos que causaban sesgos en la selección.
El cambio constitucional de AΩA en 2020 permitió a las escuelas definir los criterios de selección de los elegidos.
La revisión holística ofrece un enfoque más equitativo para la selección de estudiantes.

Objetivo del estudio:

Evaluar el impacto de la revisión holística en la demografía de los elegidos de AΩA.
Evaluar la efectividad de la plataforma MyPortfolio (MP) para facilitar la selección holística de AΩA.

Principales métodos:

Estudio transversal que compara datos de elegidos de AΩA de 2016-2020 (pre-MP) y 2021-2025 (post-MP).
Análisis de datos demográficos que incluyen raza/etnia, condición de primera generación y antecedentes socioeconómicos.
Análisis de chi-cuadrado para determinar la significancia estadística de los cambios en la representación.

Principales resultados:

Aumentos estadísticamente significativos en la representación de estudiantes de minorías raciales/étnicas subrepresentadas en medicina (URiM) (2,73 % a 10,05 %).
Aumento significativo en la representación de estudiantes de primera generación (0 % a 6,27 %).
Aumento notable de estudiantes de entornos socioeconómicos más bajos (12,73 % a 21,77 %).

Conclusiones:

Una plataforma estandarizada como MyPortfolio puede implementar efectivamente la revisión holística para las elecciones de AΩA.
La revisión holística promueve elecciones más equitativas de AΩA.
Este enfoque mejora las oportunidades profesionales para diversos estudiantes de medicina.

Stratified Sampling Method

Stratified Sampling Method

Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a stratified sample, divide the population into groups called strata and then take a...

Systematic Sampling Method

Systematic Sampling Method

Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
Systematic sampling is one of the simplest methods...

Decision Making: Traditional Method

Decision Making: Traditional Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

Decision Making: P-value Method

Decision Making: P-value Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

Quantifying and Rejecting Outliers: The Grubbs Test

Quantifying and Rejecting Outliers: The Grubbs Test

Sometimes, a data set can have a recorded numerical observation that greatly deviates from the rest of the data. Assuming that the data is normally distributed, a statistical method called the Grubbs test can be used to determine whether the observation is truly an outlier. To perform a two-tailed Grubbs test, first, calculate the absolute difference between the outlier and the mean. Then, calculate the ratio between this difference and the standard deviation of the sample. This...
