Abstract
Increasing diversity is essential not only for equal healthcare among all individuals but also for equal socio-economic potential for all genders and ethnicities. With changing demographics over the years, we tried to assess the impact of university programs for the promotion of equality in ethnic representation in the medical community. The US population, based on the data taken from the US Census Bureau, was compared to the Faculty Administrative Management Online User System (FAMOUS) data to analyze the representation of the medical community to the general US population. Females have reached near parity in their representation within the medical community faculty. Underrepresented in medicine individuals have not come far enough to reach parity in their representation within the medical community. As compared to the general US population, while Asians are overrepresented, Black and Hispanic proportions in the medical community are still underrepresented.
