The centerpiece of the Health Affairs Insider Journal Club meeting in July is, "Documenting Latino Representation In The US Health Workforce." Using data from the US Census Bureau, the authors compare representation of the four largest Latino subpopulation groups in the health workforce with that group’s representation in the US workforce. They found Mexican Americans to be the most underrepresented subpopulation in professions requiring advanced degrees. All groups are overrepresented in occupations requiring less than a bachelor’s degree. Among recent health professions graduates, overall Latino representation has been increasing over time. On July 27, please join author Indira Islas of George Washington University for a detailed discussion of the paper’s data, methods, and policy conclusions. Health Affairs Senior Editor Leslie Erdelack will host.
