Growing The Pipeline Of Men Of Color In Medicine, Mark Martin, Jacquelyn Gerhart, Marcine Pickron-Davis

Research Day

INTRODUCTION: Healthcare professions suffer from an imbalance in the number of culturally and ethnically diverse providers and the populations they serve. This poster presentation will illustrate our commitment to mitigating the dearth of underrepresented men in medicine. Currently, African Americans make up 13% of the U.S. population, but only 4% of U.S. doctors and less than 7% of U.S. medical students. (Of active U.S. doctors in 2013, 48.9% were white, 11.7% were Asian, 4.4% were Hispanic or Latinx, and 0.4% were American Indian or Alaska Native.) (HBR, August 10, 2018). In 1986, 57% of black medical school graduates were men …

Early Medical Education Exposure To Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, And Justice, Maayra Butt, Natalie Santucci, Kerin M. Claeson

Research Day

INTRODUCTION: The United States currently stands as an epicenter for different identities noting variations across people in ethnicity, religion, gender, and socioeconomic status. Further intersectionality among these identities creates a diverse population of individuals subsequently reflected in the field of healthcare, one of the largest systems that encompass modern society. Medical education plays a notable role in the progression of healthcare as students are the early implementers of future healthcare systems. While it is known that early exposure to cultural humility and diversity allows students to learn and grow as future providers, exposure during professional training is often limited.

PCOM Scholarly Papers

Here, we review and discuss the records and taxonomy of the Ypresian (Eocene) chondrichthyans from the famous Bolca Konservat-Lagerstätte in northeastern Italy. Despite the outstanding diversity and the numerous studies focusing on the actinopterygian faunas from Pesciara and Monte Postale, the current knowledge about the systematics, taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of the cartilaginous fishes from these Eocene sites remains elusive and largely inadequate. The celebrated Eocene Bolca Lagerstätte has yielded several exquisitely preserved articulated remains of chondrichthyan fishes in which delicate structures and soft tissues are preserved, as well as isolated teeth. The cartilaginous fish assemblage of Bolca comprises at …
