In what some are calling a “persistent failure” of medical schools to improve diversity, a comprehensive new analysis going back 40 years shows the number of students from the most underrepresented groups in medicine Black males and Native American and Alaskan Native men and women has declined.
While Black male medical students accounted for 3.1% of the national medical student body in 1978, in 2019 they accounted for just 2.9%. Without the contribution of historically Black medical schools, just 2.4% would be Black men.

Growing up in Marietta, Georgia, Lauren Baron, MD, knew she wanted to become a pediatrician. It never occurred to her that she couldn’t become one after all, her pediatrician, her dentist, and her orthodontist were all Black women. Her mother made sure of that.

By the time she was 12, Baron announced her intention to go into medicine and she received regular advice and encouragement from her pediatrician until she left for college. She began her training at Xavier University of Louisiana, went on to get her Master’s in Public Health and Tropical Medicine at Tulane, and is currently finishing her doctorate at Howard University College of Medicine. Baron is one of 20 new Pediatrics residents at Yale School of Medicine, 55% of whom come from background
