Medical School Faculty Becomes More Diverse

JAMA Network

About The Study: The findings of this study of faculty from 144 U.S. medical schools from 1990 to 2019 suggest that representation of women in academic medicine improved with time, while underrepresented groups in medicine overall experienced only modest increases with wide variability across institutions. Among underrepresented groups in medicine, the Hispanic population has lost representational ground.
