Abstract

Disparities in health outcomes in under-represented racial and ethnic minority groups are evident in allergic/immunologic diseases and have been most completely described in asthma. The last 2 decades have not led to any substantive improvement in these disparities, with under-represented minorities (URMs) receiving worse care in several quality measures. Increasing physician workforce diversity is one strategy to improve access to care and address the health disparity problem because URM physicians more often choose to both work in clinical settings and pursue research that benefits underserved communities.
