摘要：Although attrition represents a methodological challenge for evaluating our program,1 we agree that student factors are but a small part of the challenge, and will heed the call for introspection. Attrition of students from the program reflects many of the structural and institutional barriers to which Drs Amaechi, Foster, Robles, and Campbell refer in their letter.2 We recognize and affirm that our underrepresented in medicine (URM) students are not deficient in any way and are an essential asset to our institution.3 Opportunities to address institutional deficiencies in serving URM students are abundant, and we will focus this letter on what we can do to address them at the University of Utah.
