Men of color in the health professions: Proceedings from the 2022 ADEA President's symposium

The purpose of the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) President's Symposium on men of color in the health professions, hosted at the 2022 ADEA Annual Session and Exhibition, was to draw attention to the need to address the low numbers of men of color not only entering dental education but also across medicine and health-related research careers and to identify strategies for change. Stakeholders in health professions education shared their professional insights and best practices. Highlights of the Symposium included discussions of funding for pathway programs, leveraging data-driven metrics through strategic partnerships, mentorship, and accountability among dental schools, medical schools, and health science research organizations.
