摘要
Disparities clearly exist in the healthcare of racial and ethnic minorities. This position paper of the American College of Physicians (ACP) provides ample evidence illustrating that minorities do not always receive the same quality of healthcare, do not have the same access to healthcare, are less represented in the health professions, and have poorer overall health status than nonminorities. The ACP finds this to be a major problem in our nation's health system, and it must be addressed. The ACP is dedicated to working toward eliminating all disparities in healthcare. This position paper sets forth specific positions for reducing these disparities and will be the foundation for public policy advocacy by ACP for eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare.
