We are all well aware of the disparities present in our current medical system, especially among minorities. Traditionally, medicine and medical education have largely focused on understanding disease processes and one's ability to recognize the "zebras" of diagnoses however understanding the culture and values of our patients can play a significant role in health outcomes. Minorities are largely underrepresented among medical professionals.

Whether it is gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion it is important that the institution of medicine strives to represent the community it serves.
