Abstract

In 2003, the Institute of Medicine noted the need to improve workforce diversity. The American Society of Hematology (ASH) responded by developing the Minority Recruitment Initiative (MRI) to recruit diverse physicians/scientists into hematology. We evaluated the outcomes of the program. From 2004-2022, there were 405 awardees. Compared to national estimates, MRI awardees were less likely to discontinue their degree programs. MRI graduate student awardees 0% attrition (97.5% confidence interval (CI) 10.6%) while national minority graduate student attrition was 36%. Medical student awardees had 2.2% (95% CI 0.61%, 5.6%) attrition compared to minority medical school attrition of 5.6%. Awardees were more likely than expected to pursue hematology-oncology (5.7% minority national estimate) as 14.4% (95% CI 8.1%, 23.0%) of medical student awardees and 88.5% (95% CI 70.0%, 97.6%) of early career awardees remain in the field. ASH has developed a successful program, but continued efforts are needed to advance equity in hematology.

美国血液学会：建立一个全面的少数族裔招聘和留用专业计划。

2003 年，美国医学研究所（Institute of Medicine）指出有必要提高劳动力的多样性。美国血液学会（American Society of Hematology，ASH）为此制定了 "少数族裔招募计划"（Minority Recruitment Initiative，MRI），以招募多样化的医生/科学家加入血液学领域。我们对该计划的成果进行了评估。从 2004 年到 2022 年，共有 405 人获奖。与全国的估计数字相比，MRI 获奖者中断学位课程的可能性较低。MRI 研究生获奖者的自然减员率为 0%（97.5% 置信区间 (CI) 为 10.6%），而全国少数民族研究生的自然减员率为 36%。医学院获奖学生的自然减员率为 2.2%（95% 置信区间为 0.61%，5.6%），而少数民族医学院的自然减员率为 5.6%。获奖者从事血液肿瘤学研究的可能性高于预期（全国少数民族估计为5.7%），因为14.4%（95% CI 8.1%，23.0%）的医学生获奖者和88.5%（95% CI 70.0%，97.6%）的早期职业获奖者仍在该领域工作。ASH 已经制定了一项成功的计划，但仍需继续努力，以促进血液学领域的公平。

期刊介绍： Blood Advances, a semimonthly medical journal published by the American Society of Hematology, marks the first addition to the Blood family in 70 years. This peer-reviewed, online-only, open-access journal was launched under the leadership of founding editor-in-chief Robert Negrin, MD, from Stanford University Medical Center in Stanford, CA, with its inaugural issue released on November 29, 2016. Blood Advances serves as an international platform for original articles detailing basic laboratory, translational, and clinical investigations in hematology. The journal comprehensively covers all aspects of hematology, including disorders of leukocytes (both benign and malignant), erythrocytes, platelets, hemostatic mechanisms, vascular biology, immunology, and hematologic oncology. Each article undergoes a rigorous peer-review process, with selection based on the originality of the findings, the high quality of the work presented, and the clarity of the presentation.
