James Nystead Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 The highlights: 55% self-identify as being from a racialized population 32% have experienced socio-economic challenges (will be 100% with tuition + LOC lmao) 19% from a small town or rural/remote region (31% SWOMEN) 11% LGBTQ2S+ 83% first in family to attend medical school. (Schulich should really be commended for this stat, this is not easy to accomplish). 19% first in family to attend university. https://www.schulich.uwo.ca/about/news/2020/august/feature_incoming_medical_school_class_represents_increased_diversity.html?fbclid=IwAR2Jjx00niZuyrJkx2_YR7g39ARGzu2B0ZE5L27w8aJwQ_nnM-epBMSS21Q hbmed, Malulu123, readytostresseat and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readytostresseat Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Wow this is awesome to see! I wish all medical schools would make more of this data public so we can work on addressing systemic issues that affect diversity in medicine.

rmorelan Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 that has been something the school has been working on for some time! It is great to see some of the changes - diversity is a strength in medicine (a field that has a long history of getting stuck in group think). hbmed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
