“…In addition to the obvious concerns of the cost of medical school ( Baugh and Baugh, 2022 ), financial barriers are evident as URiM students are more likely to come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, experience financial stress during their undergraduate education and are more likely to need to work through college ( Carnevale and Smith, 2018 ; Toretsky et al, 2018 ; Table 4 ).

Despite many initiatives over more than 4 decades, the diversity of United States physicians still does not reflect the diversity of the United States population.

Known barriers that influence matriculation into medical school were analyzed such as academic metrics and test scores. Additionally, elements that are less well studied were investigated such as factors perceived as barriers by underrepresented applicants in addition to protective factors that allow them to persist in their journey in the face of difficulties and adversity.

In addition, a loan repayment opportunity may be beneficial for the local community because URM faculty are likely to engage in community-based research and partner with local organizations and agencies 20 .…”
