Study: Academic leadership appears to be more diverse in PC vs. surgical specialties

Those in academic medical leadership positions tended to be more diverse in primary care compared with surgical subspecialties, according to the results of research published in JAMA Network Open.

However, now, over 45 years later, the growth of a diverse and culturally representative health care workforce continues to be less than ideal,” Charles S. Day, MD, MBA, system
