Affirmative Action Repeal And Racial And Ethnic Diversity In Us Medical School Admissions

JAMA Network

About The Study: The findings of this study suggest that elimination of race-conscious admissions coincided with declines in medical school diversity, threatening progress toward health care equity. Medical schools must explore alternative admissions strategies, such as holistic review processes that account for structural barriers. Without such efforts, reduced diversity in medical education may worsen existing health disparities.
