• The Sullivan Commission on Diversity in the Healthcare Workforce:  
  Missing Persons: Minorities in the Health Professions
  The Sullivan Commission on Diversity in the Healthcare Workforce finds that there is an imbalance in the makeup of
  the country’s physicians, dentists and nurses. African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians and certain segments
  of the Asian/Pacific Islander population are not present in significant numbers. Access to health professions careers
  remains largely unequal. This report examines the root causes of this challenge and provides detailed recommendations
  on how to increase the representation of minorities in the nation’s medical, dental and nursing workforce.
