Diversity in Medicine
Diversity within medicine is critical. A diverse patient population is deserving of health care providers who understand that race, culture, gender, sexual orientation, and religious beliefs play a role within a patients health, wellbeing, and treatment plans. Furthermore, a diverse field of healthcare providers will be better able to connect with their patients and help to combat the various disparities within healthcare.
