Diversity 

Why Diversity Matters• Broadening of perspectives• Improve learning outcomes for all students

– Active learning– Intellectual engagement– Motivation– Empathy – Cultural understanding

• Students trained at diverse medical school are more comfortable treatment patients from wider range of backgrounds

Why Diversity Matters• Improves health care for underserved patients

– Practioners who are black, Hispanic, Native Americans 

• More likely to work in underserved communities 

• More likely to treat minority patients

– Providers who are black, Hispanic, Native Americans and women 

• More likely to care for poor, Medicaid patients 

Kingston et al.  The Right Thing to Do, National Academy Press 2001Cantor et al. Inquiry. 1996:33; 167

Why Diversity Matters

• Leads to increased patient choice and satisfaction– Minority patients are more likely

• To seek care from professionals of their own racial and ethnic background

• To report higher quality care when receiving care by professionals of their own racial and ethnic background 

– Visits last 2.2 minutes longer

Why Diversity Matters • Companies in the top quartile for racial and ethnic diversity 

– 35 percent more likely to have financial returns abovemedians.

• Companies in the top quartile for gender diversity – 15 percent more likely to have financial returns abovemedians.

• There is a linear relationship between racial and ethnic diversity and better financial performance: – for every 10 percent increase diversity on the senior‐executive 

team, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rise 0.8 percent.

Obtaining Board Certification 

• Study of graduates of ACGME certified programs (3373 graduates) with intention on graduate survey to become certified in surgery 

– 60.4% became ABS‐BC

• Women, URM, >28 years at graduation

• More recent graduation, privately owned medical schools, failure of Step 2CK less likely to be BC
