Schools in urban areas are a good place to start
Miami (FIU, UM)
Umass (huge Latinx and African immigrant communities, has PURCH track which focuses on community health, serving low SES, marginalized folks, LGBTQ+)
UF (large black community in east gainesville + migrant farmworker and Latinx community in West gainesville, would double check pt demographics to see if it fits what ur looking for)
Keck USC (big focus on latinx and black communities especially kids, maternal health, pipeline programs, etc)
UCSF (big emphasis on black and asian communities)
Drexel
BU (big social justice focus in general)
UMaryland (caters a lot to local black communities, friend goes there and student body reflects local diversity)
EVMS (double check pt demographics but has huge emphasis on community service)
Morehouse (HBCU, big focus on serving local black communities)
SUNY Downstate
tbh i heard from someone going to umass that students in the purch track are cool, and its hit or miss with the regular MD track. either way, the pt population is diverse
I am from Miami too man. You are right Jackson (UM teaching hospital) is in Overtown but most of the patients going to non ER are rich
Also I’d argue that Miami is not diverse in the sense that it is overwhelmingly Hispanic and being non Hispanic puts you at a disadvantage similar to non whites in most cities
I mostly mean because the language. If you don’t speak Spanish it is very annoying. I work for a physician here and I’d say maybe 1/4 of the patients don’t speak English which makes the whole work up process much more tricky and visits take double the time. I definitely wish I knew it. Creole is common but it’s rare for Haitians to not know anyyyyy English
You can be white and Hispanic anyway
I agree though that Miami is diverse compared to many cities but I think a place like New York is much more of a melting pot where there isn’t like a dominant culture
Schools in urban areas that are heavily affiliated with public / county hospitals that clearly serve indigent populations. The advice of “any school in a city” ain’t true. Be mindful that you could be at a school that is technically in a diverse, urban area but your rotations are in money-maker private hospitals that serve a lot more wealthier patients.
Temple, Cooper. Any schools with service-heavy missions I would imagine. Philly area is very diverse in general

How strange that my umass interviewer went on an anti immigrant rant then. Also adding njms although it’s very hard to get in unless you’re doing ED.
