Shaping a Health Workforce That Reflects America

Increasing Access to Medical Education for Students From All Backgrounds

Disparities in health care access and quality based on a patient’s ethnic, racial, or socioeconomic background are one of the major issues facing the United States today. According to a 2022 analysis by Deloitte Insights, health disparities lead to preventable illness and death that cost the U.S. $320 Billion Per Year.

While physicians do their best to develop cultural competency and extend the same standard of care to all patients, evidence persistently shows that unconscious bias still impacts health care provided to patients from historically under-represented backgrounds.

Research also shows that broadening the health care workforce can reduce these disparities. Doctors and other health professionals whose lived experience matches their patients’ may be better able to connect during exam room consultations, for example, or anticipate barriers that can impact follow-up care.
