The minority tax has been defined as a set of disparities that those who are underrepresented in medicine face in addition to clinical care, education, and research responsibilities. These taxes include systemic racism, diversity efforts, clinical and promotion disparities, lack of faculty development, and isolation. Much has been added to the literature to better define and characterize the minority tax and propose suggestions for mitigations.

Promoting autonomy in medical decision-making is an essential part of palliative care. Therefore, palliative care providers should prioritize supporting the autonomy of sexual and gender minority (SGM) older adults, a community that has historically suffered from healthcare disparities. This support is particularly significant when an illness or injury renders a patient unable to make medical decisions, necessitating the designation of a surrogate decision-maker.

Health recommender systems (HRS) have the capability to improve human-centered care and prevention by personalizing content, such as health interventions or health information. HRS, an emerging and developing field, can play a unique role in the digital health field as they can offer relevant recommendations, not only based on what users themselves prefer and may be receptive to, but also using data about wider spheres of influence over human behavior, including peers, families, communities, and societies. We identify and discuss how HRS could play a unique role in decreasing health inequities.

Community Racial and Ethnic Representation Among Physicians in US Internal Medicine Residency Programs.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine, New York University Langone Health, New York.
Importance: Increasing underrepresented in medicine (URIM) physicians among historically underserved communities helps reduce health disparities. The concordance of URIM physicians with their communities improves access to care, particularly for American Indian and Alaska Native, Black, and Hispanic or Latinx individuals.
Objectives: To explore county-level racial and ethnic representation of US internal medicine (IM) residents, examine racial and ethnic concordance between residents and their communities, and assess whether representation varies by presence of academic institutions or underserved settings.
