J Am Board Fam Med. 2024 Mar 11;37(1):134-136. doi: 10.3122/jabfm.2023.230078R1.ABSTRACTPatient-physician race concordant dyads have been shown to improve patient outcomes; the race and ethnicity of family physicians providing women's health procedures has not been described. Using self-reported data, this analysis highlights the racial disparities in scope of practice; underrepresented in medicine (URiM) females are less likely to perform women's health procedures which may lead to disparities in care received by minority women.PMID:38467430 | DOI:10.3122/jabfm.2023.230078R1
