MINORITIES IN HEALTHCARE: Adjusting with the Times and Paving the Path for Healthcare Diversity
T
he United States, by its very nature, constantly undergoes significant demographic change. By 2050, the current minorities, or non-white population, in the United States will become the majority, according to a 2019 study. However, population statistics alone won’t mean that people of color truly have representation. Even as future majority, today’s minorities will continue to face the same issues if no actions are taken to further expand diversity and inclusion. Through deliberate and careful effort, increasing minorities in healthcare will pave the way for healthcare diversity. By increasing diversity in healthcare, professionals can address the racial and ethnic healthcare disparities which echo across multiple dimensions of population health. Moral and ethical dilemmas also play into these disparities, resulting in misdiagnoses and poor management of chronic conditions.
