As medical schools continue to support programs for diversity in medical education, more students from underrepresented, educationally and economically disadvantaged backgrounds seek careers in medicine. Greater diversity and inclusion are not only important in equalization, but they also prepare medical students to more effectively meet the needs of an increasingly diverse patient population, which is crucial to ultimately eliminating health disparities within health care.
