The physical therapy profession needs to increase the number of minority providers to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse U.S. population effectively. However, neither the student body nor faculty demographic adequately reflects the population, leading to the problem of practice: the underrepresentation of racial and ethnic minority faculty in physical therapy higher education in the U.S. As racial and ethnic minority Doctor of Physical Therapy students must reach critical mass at the entrance to the academic pipeline to feed the supply of racial and ethnic minority faculty, it is vital to understand the facilitators and barriers to minority student success. Racial and ethnic minority Doctor of Physical Therapy students report facing language and cultural barriers, as well as racial discrimination, and cite the lack of racially concordant mentors as barriers to success. The intervention was a networked mentoring program aligned with the racial/cultural identity development model. Mentoring teams consisted of a first-year minority student, a faculty mentor, and a second-year minority peer mentor to meet the student call for racially concordant mentorship. First-year mentees described feeling more connected to the institution through interactions with peer and faculty mentors in mentoring sessions and networking events. Faculty mentors demonstrated a significant increase in cross-cultural psychological capital throughout the six-month intervention period, and peer mentors articulated their professional growth through participating in the networked mentoring model. Additionally, peer mentors expressed an interest in seeking additional mentoring opportunities, highlighting the reciprocal benefits associated with mentoring.
