For some our patient panels are somewhat homogenous. However, the culture at large that surrounds us is diversifying at a pace we have never experienced before. Having greater cultural competence will lead to an improvement in care. Understanding that future physician need to be better equipped for this changing landscape is an understatement. There will need to be a collective effort from medical institutions, residency programs, physicians in active practice, and medical recruiters. Students and residents are more likely to return to the areas in which they have grown-up or trained. Targeting high performing students in these medically deprived areas is the only way we can truly cause lasting progressive change.
