This document discusses diversity in healthcare and medical education. It provides demographic data on underrepresented racial and ethnic minority populations in the US, Washington state, and in medical education pipelines. Charts show the percentages of various racial/ethnic groups in the US population, medical school applicants/matriculants, graduate medical education programs, and medical school faculty. The document also outlines programs and strategies to increase diversity in medical education, such as improving pre-health pathways, reducing financial barriers, enhancing learning environments, and developing inclusive curricula and mentorship programs.
