Intealth CEO Statement: “Diversity Is Essential to U.S. Health Care”
July 1 marks the start of a new academic year in U.S. programs of graduate medical education (GME). Thousands of IMGs, both U.S. citizens and foreign nationals, are among the incoming trainees. Intealth CEO William W. Pinsky, MD has released a statement on the importance of diversity in U.S. health care and the knowledge, talent, and diversity that IMGs bring to the physician workforce.
“As medicine becomes increasingly globalized and our patient population more diverse, it is essential for our nation to embrace diversity in medicine and to recognize the critical contributions of physicians of all races, ethnicities, cultures, genders, and sexual orientations,” he writes.
We encourage you to read Dr. Pinsky's full statement.
