Analysis of Factors that Affect the Acceptance of American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) into Medical School Training Programs
This study surveys those American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) students (many of whom come from rural areas) who applied to the University of Washington School of Medicine over two years to identify the supports and barriers they experienced in the application process, the path they have taken if rejected from medical school, and how their medical school rejection (if rejected) may have affected their plans to enter a health profession. AI/ANs are underrepresented in the medical profession, and understanding factors that have an impact on whether an individual decides to pursue medicine and succeeds in taking that education path should help with future AI/AN health career pipeline efforts. The Final Report for this project is complete, and awaiting publication.
