“You can’t be what you can’t see.” – Co-chair MMA Barriers to Workforce Diversification in Physician Education, Training and Licensure Task Force
We recognize that inclusion in medicine is about more than fairness. Research consistently shows that patients who share racial or ethnic backgrounds with their physicians experience greater trust and satisfaction.
The MMA Foundation’s Changing the Face of Medicine is a campaign focused on dismantling the barriers that prevent too many talented individuals from pursuing careers in medicine. We are prioritizing initiatives that promote inclusion within the physician workforce, including by offering grants that cover MCAT fees for students from backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in medicine.
But our work doesn’t end there. We are also committed to removing additional systemic barriers and expanding opportunities to expose students to careers in medicine. With your support, we can help open doors and create a more inclusive future for healthcare.
This is vital work—one that will create lasting change in the healthcare field. Together, we can help build a more inclusive, equitable future for medicine.
