Description
Summary:Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) psychiatrists serve a significant role in addressing mental health disparities. [...]it has been a feature of the social, economic, and political systems in which we all exist. Because the USA is steeped in structural racism, more recently the term BIPOC was coined to acknowledge that all people of color (including Black, Indigenous, Latino, and Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI)) face varying types of discrimination and prejudice [5]. Concurrently, holistic review prioritizes personal qualities and professional characteristics that reflect program values, and actively considers applicants in a broader social context—including acknowledgment of how institutional racism, poverty, and family educational achievement can impact applicant trajectory through medical school [16]. Not surprisingly, this approach has increased the odds of trainee selection from historically underserved communities [15, 16].
