6. The Study Population 6 The program is not limited to underrepresented minorities, but access to the AUC schools and Atlanta's reputation for a positive multi-cultural experience provide a recruiting environment that has allowed us to maintain an enrollment of underrepresented minorities in our Program well above their representation in the general U.S. population and far above their representation in the national population of post-doctoral fellows.
