Ending Race-Conscious College Admissions and Its Potential Impact on the Infectious Disease Workforce

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

On 29 June 2023, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that race-conscious consideration for college admission is unconstitutional. We discuss the consequences of this ruling on the delivery of equitable care and health system readiness to combat current and emerging pandemics. We propose strategies to mitigate the negative impact of this ruling on diversifying the infectious disease (ID) workforce.
