Association of American Medical Colleges' Study on Diversity

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) conducted a study to examine the diversity of medical students and professionals. It looks at how different backgrounds—such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other factors—are represented in medical schools and healthcare workforce. The goal is to understand progress toward a more diverse and inclusive medical field, which can improve patient care by incorporating varied perspectives. The study also identifies barriers some groups face in entering or advancing in medicine, helping institutions develop strategies to promote equitable opportunities and better serve diverse populations.
