Description of CME Course

This article considers how student advancement assessment in American medical schools undermines equity. Although much attention is paid to admissions processes’ capacity to diversify the physician workforce, students’ advancement has been neglected as the next key step along their journeys toward graduation and residency training. This article canvasses common ways advancement undermines equity and suggests 3 areas of focus. In particular, it suggests that retention, student progression, and career advancement milestones are at least as important as admissions-based efforts to promote justice in medical education opportunity.
