This article describes the "The Admissions Revolution: Bold Strategies for Diversifying the Healthcare Workforce" conference, which preceded the 2022 Beyond Flexner Alliance Conference and called for health professions institutions to boldly reimagine the admission process to diversify the health care workforce. Proposed strategies encompassed 4 key themes: admission metrics, aligning admission practices with institutional mission, community partnerships to fulfill social mission, and student support and retention. Transformation of the health professions admission process requires broad institutional and individual effort. Careful consideration and implementation of these practices will help institutions achieve greater workforce diversity and catalyze progress toward health equity.

The US is becoming an increasingly diverse and multicultural nation. It is therefore imperative to increase diverse representation in the healthcare workforce to adapt to the evolving patient community. Many institutions and systems in the US, including healthcare, have been structured to benefit the “White majority,” with people from marginalized backgrounds conforming to the system in order to receive care. An increase in healthcare workforce diversity is an achievable strategy for health equity and improving patient outcomes, particularly racial and ethnic disparities. Translating this to practice is a daunting task, but it is crucial to focus on the solutions. Organizations must acknowledge the systemic issues which exist and take action by having governance structures committed to supporting initiatives focused on diversity and cultural competency. The impact of greater diversity in the healthcare workforce extends to diverse patients having overall improved experiences in access, clinical encounters, communication with practitioners, choice, and satisfaction.
