underrepresented populations (URPs) and women in academic medicine and dentistry is

described a lack of role models and lack of peer support as key impediments to the
progress of women in academic health care, a finding confirmed in the W. Montague
Cobb/National Medical Association Health Institute report on the plight of URPs in
medical education.
There is a considerable body of evidence that both URPs and women face institutionalized
barriers in dentistry and medicine preventing career progress compared with the racial
or ethnic majority and men.
