AAMC launches campaign to increase diversity in medicine
Healthcare Strategist Trend Watch, November 17, 2006
A new marketing campaign encourages more minority students to choose medicine as a career, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has announced. Representatives from the AAMC said it established the campaign in response to the increase in the nation's racial and ethnic diversity and the looming nationwide physician shortage. Although African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans make up 25% of the U.S. population, only 12% of students who graduate from the nation's medical schools are from these groups. In addition, only 6% of all practicing physicians are members of these minority groups, according to an AAMC release.
