Medical school pathway programs have been important for helping to diversify student bodies and by extension the future health workforce. Many of these pathway programs were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent of these disruptions are not well understood.
This abstract describes a study that utilized an online survey and interviews with medical school pathway program administrators to learn more about the common features of these programs, examine how these programs were impacted by the pandemic, and identify strategies for sustaining these programs.
