In the United States, 28% of the population self identifies as Black, Latinx, Native Alaskan, Native American, or Native Hawaiian, but only 8% of U.S. medical faculty are from these racial and ethnic groups. Physician diversity improves our ability to be the best in clinical care, education, innovation, and research because diversity drives excellence.
Guillermo Sanchez, MD and Lloyd Ferguson, MD were the first Latino and African American residents in the Mass General Department of Medicine's Internal Medicine Residency Program, respectively. In 2016 the Department of Medicine established the Sanchez and Ferguson Research Faculty Award with the goal of enhancing a diverse research faculty to drive excellence, and in recognition of an unmet need for funding and mentorship support for junior faculty at vulnerable points in their careers. This award aims to support research faculty from underrepresented in medicine backgrounds. The Mass General Department of Medicine follows the definition of underrepresented in medicine and biomedical sciences of the National Institute of Health and the Association of American Medical Colleges. The intent of this program is to support the careers of promising young Department of Medicine basic and clinical investigators by providing interim funding and career development support.
