Factors that Promote the Recruitment of American Indians and Alaska Natives into (AI/ANs) Medicine


Description:

Understanding the factors that support recruitment and retention of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) health professionals is crucial in increasing the supply of health professionals most likely to serve the AI/AN population. To that end, project investigators have conducted a study to identify the factors that promote the recruitment and retention of AI/ANs into medicine. The study interviewed AI/AN medical students enrolled at the University of Washington. Funded by HRSA, National Center for Health Workforce Analysis.
