"In the wake of the 2023 U.S. Supreme Court decision on the consideration of race in admissions and state-level policies ending funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, medical schools are operating in a new environment," Dr. David A. Acosta highlighted the challenges faced by medical schools following significant legal shifts. He emphasized the need for institutions to adopt holistic review processes to recruit diverse classes and maintain enrollment levels.
"There's evidence that some alternative practices are already working to diversify medical education, which advocates say produces a more diverse physician workforce—and, ideally, more equitable health outcomes." This statement underlines the importance of continuing efforts to diversify medical education to enhance not just the make-up of the student body, but also the quality of care provided by future physicians.
