Diversifying America's physician workforce and preparing doctors to practice with cultural sensitivity became major goals of the Association of American Medicine Colleges during Dr. Jordan Cohen's 12 yeas as AAMC president. Have we made much progress? What are the greatest challenges to closing the diversity gap? What are individual medical schools doing to promote diversity?
