Key Points Question What strategies are associated with increased racial and ethnic diversity in graduate medical education programs? Findings This scoping review of 27 articles found that combinations of interventions were associated with increased numbers of applicants, interviewees, and matriculants who are underrepresented in medicine across various medical and surgical specialties. Such interventions included holistic review, decreased emphasis on US Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 scores, changes to selection committees, and explicit institutional messaging regarding the importance of diversity. Meaning These findings suggest that effective approaches and interventions to increase racial and ethnic diversity in residency and fellowship programs exist and such measures may be beneficial in other graduate medical education contexts.
