WITH AFFIRMATIVE ACTION OUT, LANDMARK STUDY PROVIDES NEW APPROACH TO DIVERSIFYING THE PHYSICIAN WORKFORCE
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ponce Health Sciences University (PHSU) and Tiber Health Innovation (THI) announce the publication of a report in Academic Medicine, the flagship journal of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), titled "Increasing Diversity in the Physician Workforce: Pathway Programs and Predictive Analytics."
- Two groups were compared: students who were directly admitted to PHSU MD versus students who went through MSMS before PHSU MD.
- "MD admissions committees that rely on the MCAT can upgrade their evaluation process by implementing this data-driven, performance-based approach.
- PHSU/THI's goal is to expand this approach across the U.S. by partnering with universities that want to offer the MSMS program to their own students.
- PHSU/THI are seeking more universities to join the MSMS University Network and help address the lack of diversity in the physician workforce.
