Abstract

Background and objectives: Future Doctors (FD), a high school pathway program, was developed to address the lack of compositional diversity in the health professions at our health sciences campus.

Methods: We obtained, analyzed, and compared data on FD student demographic and educational achievement at undergraduate and graduate programs at the University of Utah and graduate programs at other institutions to non-FD students. We followed students from high school to graduate school.

Results: We analyzed data from 1,897 FD participants (2014-2019). FD participants were 71% women, with 50.3% identifying as students of color. Ninety-eight students matriculated in graduate school, with 75 (76%) remaining at University of Utah and 45 (46%) attending health sciences graduate programs.

Conclusions: FD student cohorts are more diverse than those in the University of Utah undergraduate and graduate programs, contributing to the diversity of those programs. More research is needed to ensure that graduate school gains are evidenced in all underrepresented groups.

来自犹他大学医学界代表性不足的未来医生。

背景和目标：未来医生（FD）是一个高中入学途径项目，旨在解决我们健康科学校园健康专业缺乏组成多样性的问题。方法：我们获得、分析并比较了犹他大学本科生和研究生项目以及其他机构研究生项目中非FD学生的FD学生人口统计和教育成就数据。我们跟踪了从高中到研究生院的学生。结果：我们分析了1897名FD参与者（2014-2019年）的数据。FD参与者中71%为女性，50.3%为有色人种学生。98名学生被研究生院录取，其中75人（76%）留在犹他大学，45人（46%）参加健康科学研究生课程。结论：FD学生群体比犹他大学本科生和研究生项目的学生群体更加多样化，这有助于这些项目的多样性。需要进行更多的研究，以确保所有代表性不足的群体都能证明研究生院的成绩。
