White, -- Index. 330 $aThe United States is rapidly transforming into one of the most racially and ethnically diverse nations in the world. Groups commonly referred to as minorities--including Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, and Alaska Natives--are the fastest growing segments of the population and emerging as the nation's majority. Despite the rapid growth of racial and ethnic minority groups, their representation among the nation (TM)s health professionals has grown only modestly in the past 25 years. This alarming disparity has prompted the recent creation of initiatives to increase diversity in health professions. In the Nation's Compelling Interest considers the benefits of greater racial and ethnic diversity, and identifies institutional and policy-level mechanisms to garner broad support among health professions leaders, community members, and other key stakeholders to implement these strategies. Assessing the potential benefits of greater racial and ethnic diversity among health professionals will improve the access to and quality of healthcare for all Americans. 606 $aDiscrimination in medical education$zUnited States$xPrevention 606 $aMedical colleges$zUnited States$xAdmission 606 $aMinorities in medicine$zUnited States 606 $aMinorities$xEducation (Higher)$zUnited States 606 $aMedical personnel$xRecruiting$zUnited States 606 $aAffirmative action programs$zUnited States 615 0$aDiscrimination in medical education$xPrevention. 615 0$aMedical colleges$xAdmission. 615 0$aMinorities in medicine 615 0$aMinorities$xEducation (Higher) 615 0$aMedical personnel$xRecruiting 615 0$aAffirmative action programs 676 $a610/.71/173 701 $aSmedley$b Brian D$01808601 701 $aButler$b Adrienne Stith$01798751 701 $aBristow$b Lonnie R$01811135 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee on Institutional and Policy-Level Strategies for Increasing the Diversity of the U.S. Health Care Workforce. 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bBoard on Health Sciences Policy. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962694503321 996 $aIn the nation's compelling interest$94362809 997 $aUNINA
