摘要

整形外科是解决不同患者需求的关键专业，但它面临着非洲裔美国人的严重代表性不足，特别是在学术领导方面。这种不平衡一直存在于医学教育、培训和专业发展中。亚瑟·l·加恩斯医生是第一位获得委员会认证的非裔美国整形外科医生，他克服了巨大的挑战，激励了后代。卡米尔·卡什（Camille Cash）博士和史蒂文·威廉姆斯（Steven Williams）博士等著名人物进一步证明了面对障碍时的韧性。导师制成为关键，在整形外科中促进多样性和包容性。促进指导、财政支持和招聘的举措对于纠正差距、确保公平代表性和改善少数族裔患者获得护理的机会至关重要。

Increasing African American representation in plastic surgery

Plastic surgery is a specialty crucial for addressing the needs of diverse patient, yet it faces significant underrepresentation of African Americans, especially in academic leadership. This imbalance persists throughout medical education, training, and professional advancement. Dr. Arthur L. Garnes, the first board-certified African American plastic surgeon, overcame profound challenges, inspiring subsequent generations. Notable figures like Dr. Camille Cash and Dr. Steven Williams further exemplify resilience in the face of barriers. Mentorship emerges as pivotal, fostering diversity and inclusion within plastic surgery. Initiatives promoting mentorship, financial support, and recruitment are essential to rectifying disparities, ensuring equitable representation, and improving access to care for minority patients.

期刊介绍： Journal of the National Medical Association, the official journal of the National Medical Association, is a peer-reviewed publication whose purpose is to address medical care disparities of persons of African descent. The Journal of the National Medical Association is focused on specialized clinical research activities related to the health problems of African Americans and other minority groups. Special emphasis is placed on the application of medical science to improve the healthcare of underserved populations both in the United States and abroad. The Journal has the following objectives: (1) to expand the base of original peer-reviewed literature and the quality of that research on the topic of minority health; (2) to provide greater dissemination of this research; (3) to offer appropriate and timely recognition of the significant contributions of physicians who serve these populations; and (4) to promote engagement by member and non-member physicians in the overall goals and objectives of the National Medical Association.
