Racial and ethnic student body diversity is essential for medical schools to serve their educational mission of addressing racial and ethnic health inequities in the United States. Yet bans on the practice of affirmative action in six states have led to declines in students of color enrolled in medical schools. In this article, we examine prior stages that contribute to enrollment declines—namely, applications and admissions—to better inform educational policies that seek to address the negative consequences of affirmative action bans. Findings suggest that a focus on institutional actors at the admissions stage is an important lever for medical schools seeking to address the nation’s racial health disparities.

解决种族健康不平等问题:了解平权行动禁令对医学院申请和录取的影响

种族和民族学生群体的多样性对于医学院履行其解决美国种族和民族健康不平等的教育使命至关重要。然而,六个州禁止采取平权行动的做法导致就读医学院的有色人种学生人数下降。在本文中,我们研究了导致入学率下降的先前阶段——即申请和录取——以更好地为寻求解决平权行动禁令负面后果的教育政策提供信息。调查结果表明,在招生阶段关注机构参与者是医学院寻求解决国家种族健康差异的重要杠杆。
