Opening doors for a diverse dental workforce

Diversity is a concern throughout the US workforce, including health care, and is a significant national problem. Efforts to include underrepresented minority (URM) persons in dentistry have been evaluated, noting the demographics of the workforce in relation to those of the nation; the past and current programs to address the diversity problem; differences within the URM groups themselves and other barriers to success; and recommendations regarding how to address the challenges of creating a more diverse dentistry workforce profile.
