  6. A Case for Diversity in the Physician Workforce Increases access to underserved Advances cultural competence among all Increases patient satisfaction/trust Broadens research agenda with respect to racial/ethnic disparities. -IOM“In the Nation’s Compelling Interest”, 2004

  7. Linguistic Barriers (LEP)= Risk Among LEP Hispanics + an interpreter, only 70% fully understood what the doctor was saying 61% LEP Hispanics uninsured compared to 36% EP Hispanics, 30% African Americans and 20 % NH Whites LEP + Uninsured = ‘double burden’ as 2/3rds lack a usual source of health care Doty, MM Commonwealth Fund

  8. Leaks in the Educational Pipeline:Percent Obtaining College Degree by Race/Ethnicity, 2009 * Excludes NA and PI -U.S Census, Educational Attainment, 2009

  12. The Global Physician Pipeline:International Medical Graduates (IMGs) 1,950 medical schools and 350,000 graduates/year US has relied on IMGs for 40+ years Staff safety net hospitals/waivers to serve in underserved communities

  13. IMGs as a percentage of the U.S. physician workforce

  14. America’s IMG PhysiciansCountry of Origin

  15. Why so Few IMGs from Latin America? Language of instruction is rarely English Unfamiliar with U.S. physician training process Bias against F-1 (Student Visas) despite J-1 waivers U.S. Medical Licensing Exams (3) + Prep. Courses Cost of living

  16. Race/Ethnicity of Practicing Physicians Compared to Population California, 2010, N= 94,631 Sources: AMA Physician Masterfile, 2010; Medical Board of California, 2010
