Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v18 n1 p98-106 Jan 2019
The emphasis on increasing diversity within medical schools is not a new trend. At Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, we made a concerted effort to increase the percentage of Hispanic students in each incoming class. In this article, we highlight the experiences, actions, and lessons learned from key stakeholders. We conclude with a set of recommendations for medical school administrators and students who also seek to increase diversity in their enrollment.
