Racial and Ethnic Diversity in Medical School Admissions in Canada.

Importance: Medical schools promote admission pathways as well as diversity and inclusivity to prospective students who are underrepresented in medicine (UIM) primarily via their websites. Research from organizational structures supports the use of instrumental values (which focus on behavior and core beliefs), rather than terminal values (which focus on the end goal), to promote diversity.

Objective: To characterize the use of instrumental and terminal values to promote institutional diversity and inclusivity on Canadian medical school websites.
