Abstract

The article discusses the Supreme Court's decision in the case of Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President & Fellows of Harvard College, which has sparked strong reactions. The Liberty Justice Center threatened medical school admissions departments with litigation if they did not cease diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. However, the Supreme Court's decision does not prevent colleges, including medical schools, from considering race-related experiences of applicants in order to improve care and health outcomes in Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs). The article emphasizes the importance of diversity in medical education and practice for better health outcomes in underserved communities. [Extracted from the article]
