The March to Health Equity and Justice in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine

Mark C. Henderson, Marcos I. Restrepo, David Henderson

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

Training programs in pulmonary and critical care medicine have greatly expanded in the past decade, yet they do not reflect the racial/ethnic and economic diversity of the United States, which has significant implications for health equity. The lack of representation across medical education is likely to worsen with the recent Supreme Court decision banning affirmative action. The authors review health disparities in pulmonary and critical care medicine, the relationship of the workforce to health equity, and 10 tactics for addressing this urgent public health issue.
