Introduction: There are well-known strategies to increase diversity in health professions education, evidence is sparse on how such strategies are practically implemented and longitudinally sustained.

Methods: Following a grounded theory, qualitative interviews were conducted with 41 nationally accredited PA programs identified as top performers in consistently graduating racial and ethnic underrepresented students.

Background: Low population density, geographic spread, limited infrastructure and higher costs are unique challenges in the delivery of healthcare in rural areas. During the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency powers adopted globally to slow the spread of transmission of the virus included population-wide lockdowns and restrictions upon movement, testing, contact tracing and vaccination programs. The aim of this research was to document the experiences of rural health service leaders as they prepared for the emergency pandemic response, and to derive from this the lessons learned for workforce preparedness to inform recommendations for future policy and emergency planning.
