| Abstract | The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), the accrediting body for schools of medicine in the United States and Canada, has accreditation standards that require faculty gender and ethnic diversity to reflect that of the general population and contend that medical students of different races and backgrounds benefit from a multi-racial, multicultural teaching force whose members may serve as role models and mentors. In the State of California, Proposition 209 prohibits state institutions such as the University of California (UC) schools of medicine from using racial, gender or similar factors when hiring faculty. This study examined how these schools have worked to address the contradiction between LCME accreditation standards and Proposition 209 directives. It also sought the best practices that have been developed by UC medical schools to achieve faculty diversity as required by LCME accreditation standards while maintaining compliance with Proposition 209. ❧ Through demographic analysis, records research and interviews, it was discovered that UC medical schools lacked a comprehensive awareness campaign to inform faculty with hiring responsibilities of both the diversity-related requirements in the LCME accreditation standards and the true benefits to medical care of hiring a more diverse faculty. As a result, slowness in achieving greater faculty diversity may be more attributable to psychological barriers related to beliefs and attitudes rather than to legal or statistical challenges. Identifying and developing ways to address attitudinal barriers formed the foundation of several of the best practices recommendations outlined in the study, as well as implementing a regimen for accountability in achieving success in diversity hiring. |
