Abstract
The tragic deaths due to racial injustice and the disproportionate impact coronavirus (COVID-19) has had on communities of color have been a wake-up call that despite our efforts we have still failed to address centuries of racism in our country. Racism has led to health care inequities, poor health outcomes, and increased morbidity and mortality for racial and ethnic minorities.1–3 Racism has led to underrepresentation of learners and faculty who are racial and ethnic minorities,4–6 unsafe learning environments for our underrepresented in medicine (UIM) learners (those racial and ethnic populations that are underrepresented in the medical profession relative to their numbers in the general population),7 and has contributed to the leakiness of the academic pipeline for UIM individuals at all levels.
