Is this affecting the diversity of the physician work force? These authors seem to think so:
More than 1,000 students from three Minnesota medical schools were surveyed and minority students were found to have a lower sense of personal accomplishment and quality of life than their nonminority peers. They were more likely than nonminority students to have experienced a personal illness in the past year and to have children, both stressors that could impact their quality of life and sense of accomplishment.
