Abstract

Diversity among physicians has been shown to positively impact patient care. Physicians from minority backgrounds are more likely to serve underserved communities and be involved in health disparities research. Efforts to increase the proportion of underrepresented minorities and women in medicine will help prepare a physician workforce that best cares for a diversifying nation. The purpose of this paper was to highlight trends in sex and ethnic representation among incoming U.S. transplant hepatology trainees over a 10-year period.
