From July 2019 through April 2021, the Latino Center for Health, a bicultural population health research center at the University of Washington, partnered with community stakeholders to generate evidence to inform elected officials about the need to increase the diversity of the state’s physician workforce and ultimately improve Latina/o health in Washington state. Legislative efforts resulted in legislation creating goals for the state’s medical schools to admit students representative of the state’s population diversity and the creation of a new residency pathway for international medical graduates.
